Every single person setting them in their gardens is an arsehole.

Well if it were just about some people disliking fireworks then fair enough but it isn't is it and you don't have to be a genius to realise that.

Elderly people, people with ptsd, lots of pets, wildlife are often terrified by them especially the stupid ones that sound like bombs that only a moron would think was fun.

One of my neighbour's horses has miscarried because she was so terrified she ran into a fence. Lots of locals saying their sheep and horses are scared and running round and round their fields quite likely to hurt themselves

Some people are just so selfish

What about other things that people are terrified of? Should they all be banned too? Dogs?

I love them. They don't bother DC and we don't have pets.

It's not only one night per year where we live - multi cultural city, they get set off on other religious festivals through the year, new year etc.

I don't see why they shouldn't be made silent though.

MrShady · 05/11/2023 20:40

Hate them. Never used to mind them but then I got one put through my window
I'm on edge every time one goes off nearby

Same here. Sadly a fair few dead pets. I loathe fireworks and the utter wankers that let them off. Big fucking bangs. Our dogs are ok but I know so many are not. Not just dogs, all animals suffer. If you're a firework wanker, shame on you.

You do realise lots of people detest dogs and cats. Hate the mess left by them, are phobic of dogs they see in parks and out and about (and dogs are always in parks)?

Im a pet owner with a very scared dog, who also loves fireworks. Not seen any of the cats I live with give a hoot about the bangs. Dog has a den made and manages.

Titicacacandle · 05/11/2023 20:40

I hope everyone that's moaning about the wildlife is a vegan, don't preach about that if you literally eat dead animals killed for you..

NopeNotMe1 · 05/11/2023 20:40

It’s not one night, we’ve had them all evening most nights this week. Neighbour had one bounce off her window.

JennyJenny8675309 · 05/11/2023 20:41

It’s utterly selfish behaviour, and anyone who feels YABU is being ridiculous. Just because you “enjoy” something doesn’t make it okay. Being considerate of others, wild animals, pets, the environment etc. is more important than short term entertainment.

Never heard any of them complaining about fireworks, tbh. Just new parents of precious sleeping children and pet owners

MadeOfAllWork · 05/11/2023 19:16

I agree. I’ve had to keep the cat in all evening. She wasn’t impressed. Not to mention all the wild animals.

Some would say your cat should be in every day all day regardless of fireworks,not like you follow her around other peoples gardens with the poop scoop. At least you dont have to clean up whats left of my fireworks.

@FenFairy take the 3 year old out to watch them? I've got the TV on loud for the dogs and we can't even hear them over the TV.

Well what a sensible argument NOT.

Are people sitting in their homes shaking fear because of a dog? I don't think so.

Not just about being terrified though is it? What about the fact that wildlife die every year either through fright or injury. What about my neighbour whose horse miscarried? Is that all fine. Probably in your moronic view it is

HaddawayAndShite · 05/11/2023 20:42

MissFancyDay · 05/11/2023 20:24

Well quite. Mine were frightened of dogs, we managed it. we didn't bring them up to believe that everything they disliked had to be banned.

Show quote history

Well, is it a fear or is it a dislike? You can’t even seem to get that straight so I don’t begin to think you’ll understand the difference between a dislike and a real fear, let alone how to go about telling a disabled toddler to “suck it up” when they’re fitting and clawing the skin off their own face.

I wasn't talking about the wider issues around fireworks, Maybe they will be banned one day, or the extra loud ones anyway. I was commenting on the lack of resilience of children shaking and terrified by fireworks.

You and @FenFairy really are two of a kind aren’t you 😂seriously, calm down and go watch a firework or two, they’re lovely.

User0000009 · 05/11/2023 20:43

Fireworks are pointless shit. Just an excuse to make noise and disturb people. I think before you are allowed to buy them you should have to answer questions on the history of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot because let’s face it the majority of moron cunts making the racket won’t even have a clue why they’re doing it. Wankers

Well obviously your neighbours are not letting off the ones that sound like bombs because, believe me, the tv at its highest sound setting doesn't drown them out

Flufferblub · 05/11/2023 19:28

Should just do the silent fireworks and leave the rest to professional displays. Be considerate to those with PTSD from war zones, babies, animals, children and people with sensory issues, wildlife, the environment...

But pretty lights go bang.

My asd children enjoy the watching fireworks,had a complete hysterical
meltdown when we offered just to go to see the local authority one and not have any at home
