I personally think the same as many people..............they should be banned,many reasone why..................but the main reason for us is that we had and i say had as we lost him a yr ago as now,a beautifull gsd boy who was a little boy in a dogs body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was petrified of fireworks,no matter what we did,ie,ignored him, caged him, even took to a drive in the car as beleive it or not sometimes that worked!!!!!!
The end result was that we had to sedate him,for 8 yrs we did this,as we had his aunt and his sister,(who we still have),im afraid when one started they ALL started.
We also have birds in aviaries aswell so we have to leave the lights on and the radios up so they are not startled too much.I think if there is to be a display.............then councils should do them on grounds that are not too close to peoples houses etc,maybe in school grounds,playing fields etc.
I worry for all the cows/horses that are outside......as lets face it i cant see farmers taking thier stock in can you.
My only consolation.if it is one is that as the girl we have got now is 11 yrs old,her hearing is such that if she hears noises now she cant allways make out where it is coming from so as long as the curtains are closed and the tele is up and the radios also,then we should be ok..Regards
