Should fireworks be banned?
12 Answers
My friend thinks so - she has lots of animals though and sees their distress. I think it's a marvellous English tradition which celebrates, essentially, terrorism and the spirit of attempting to overthrow government and ultimately the idea of democracy. What do others think?
PS My favourite fireworks are those ones that look like tadpoles and scream when they are detonated!

I love big organised displays, but also having animals who are terrified think that the ones that people have in their gardens are just pointless really. One family pretty close to us have some every year....about 4 or 5 to be precise, with about 10 mintues in between while they faff around trying to get the thing ready to light. I only think they look impressive if they're part of a proper display.
I know of people who have been badly injured by fireworks, so personally I think it's more of safety issue why they should only be sold to organisers of public displays - the results can be horrific if they don't get into the wrong hands.

I think the organised displays are best but wouldn't want to spoil anyone's fun. It would be great if they were let off on Nov 5th only, that way we would only have one day to see that our animals are ok. As it is I daren't go out at night a few days either side of Nov 5th as my dogs would freak out if nobody was at home.
