Either ban public purchase all together, or at least limit when they can be used eg 5,6 and 7 November. Responsible pet owners look after their animals over this time, but its hard to do this for the 2 weeks that people are often letting off over.

Public displays only. Random explosions around stock is stupid and expensive.

I would prefer to just ban ones that make noise. Still sell sparklers and silent fireworks.

Please stop the sale of all fireworks, not only for the sake of the animals but also the fire brigades of nz.

Guy Fawkes/fireworks is too costly to animals, people and the environment. Ban them

Though my horses are not affected by fire work. My dog is terrified of any loud sound.

poor poor animals, they should just have one lot of fireworks for big events, but absolutely none for the general public, and those who keep on and on should be arrested

Too many animals are getting hurt, scared and suffer from anxiety. There are also people out there who intentionly use fireworks in/on animals and think it is okay and entertaining. Also children can get harmed to with miss use and supervision of fireworks.

I have a little and she just shakes, whimpers and pants all the time when they go off. We just get her settled and boom another one goes off.

I've owned horses before and know of the injuries to animals alot of us choose to take on as a result of idiots and their fireworks. Glad no one I know or an animal I've owned has been hurt by them or I'll be hurting and showing fire to the owner of the bloody thing. We don't need them. They can be showcased on a professional level at events. Not by muppets.

Its not just one night anymore, these things are going off for weeks on end and causing constant stress for animals and for people with very young children...ban the public sale, the sooner the better.
