Few societies allow this constant bombardment of what appears longer periods every year.
Anxiety and distress to both domestic pets and wildlife is unacceptable in a civilised society.
Fireworks are dangerous and the emergency services are fully stretched to provide care.
Legislation allows use of fireworks everyday. It’s impossible to take precautions.
Enforcement on sales and use is not feasible and if organised displays were the only displays allowed would not be needed.
