Firework season is beginning, do you think fireworks are harmless fun, or do their risks, such as injuries and the distress they cause to pets and wildlife, outweigh the enjoyment? Would you support a ban and why/why not? Do you believe fireworks should be restricted to organised events, or is it important for people to be able to set them off in their own gardens?

00:00I personally enjoy private firework shows, which by that I mean you know
00:05they're privately organised, they're professional, because I think especially
00:09the impact on pets that our own personal firework shows can have, I don't
00:13like that. What is the impact on pets and wildlife then do you think? I think it
00:18can cause such anxiety within, I have a dog and I think my dog can get
00:25very very upset and no matter what we do, no matter how much we try to shield it
00:31he still gets really really anxious and worried and hides and you can see the
00:36panic and the fear and it's the same with when we have just random firework
00:40shows going off by you know by our neighbours or what-have-you, we have no
00:44idea and it comes out of nowhere and I think that's the worst is the fear of
00:47thinking something could set him off. Would you support a ban of fireworks then?
00:51Yes and I think I would, what I would support though is if there's a ban of
00:56fireworks that there were private displays put on by councils.
