Fireworks with noisy send off should be banned, don't get me wrong when we were young we got them and they were fun.
Of late they make such sound pollution, it sounds like a war zone. Scaring dogs, cats and even birds in the trees, where we live the monkey's were chattering in fright, no longer is this alright.
Cleaning up after the nights entertainment is a must. Happy New Year and let us all learn and change things as we progress.
Yeah I understand your points - did not use them for years though. My princess was a bit sick and she was sleeping from 8pm until 7am and did not hear anything :-). Typing up that is a must I agree.
