We are concerned about the stress levels created around Guy Fawkes to animals, babies and some adults, also potential for injury to those who may not use fireworks appropriately. Surely if there are enough organised displays around the city, all who wish to enjoy fireworks could do so! Our aim is to lobby City council, politicians & ERMA/EPA (Environmental Risk Management Authority/Environmental Protection Agency) to disable the sale of fireworks to the general public. Please show your support!

I am currently compiling the stories you shared about how fireworks impact your pets and families to present directly to our local representatives. Email your city council member today to demand they address this public safety hazard. Post the link to the petition on your Facebook wall so we can keep building momentum.

The momentum behind this push to restrict fireworks proves people are ready for a safer community. Post the petition link to your Facebook page immediately and text three friends to join the effort.

Most New Zealanders have outgrown the gunpowder plot and the anti-Catholic bias it perpetrates. Now, setting off fireworks on GF Day (and three days before and after!) is no more than a display by immature young men and bored parents of small boys to show off. Grow up, please.

We should go back to just the big public shows like they do in other countries. Much safer and better for everyone.
