Why should the majority have to suffer because of the minority? A few people at a birthday party enjoy the overly loud noise of fireworks at midnight or what ever time they want, and everyone in ear shot has to put up with it.I'd be happy if fireworks were restricted to licenced displays only.
I'm not a party pooper, and I actually love fireworks, they're beautiful, but they don't need to be as loud as they are (they do add 'things' to make them louder, I remember reading), and I am heartily sick of them going off at random times.
I've been unlucky enough to have animals that are scared of them, and a friend of a friend had to have a horse put down after it ran into a fence; people always say, "oh, you should keep your animals in", but you can't keep all your animals in for the weeks that they're going off. My GSD wasn't afraid of them until someone let one off in a back garden about 20 feet away from us as we were walking past, at 4;30PM on a weekday, three weeks before Guy Fawkes night
I'm also unfortunate enough to live between two houses of firework enthusiasts, they set them off all the damn time, oh it's the 2nd Wednesday in March, time for some fireworks!!! Hey, we're having a barbeque for our son's birthday in August, lets set off some fireworks at midnight!!!
Sick of those people's 'fun' affecting everyone else; I don't even want to think about all the little wild animals, as well as farm animals and pets, and people with PTSD etc, it's so selfish
The effect also on wild life and pets doesn't enter their world of enjoyment of me first. It is almost as if it's become their right to do that because hey, it's my party and this is what is done at parties now.
Not having to put up with inconsiderate selfish people and their fireworks is not being a killjoy, instead it's those people with their fireworks who are being the killjoys by not considering others.
ps What does GSD stand for? Thanks.
