Well I have just heard on the news, that here in the UK the RSPCA are trying to introduce a new law if they can, :- to ban the really really loud fireworks, for them to only be sold on certain occations, ie fireworks night etc and for the users to apply for liciences, they hope this will prevent youngsters letting them off willy nilly on our streets,and obviously to protect more pets, I really hope this law gets passed as around here its getting out of hand, I am no kill joy but the kids let them off in car parks, street corners etc for as long as the shops carry them, its not just animals that suffer some of these kids think its a huge joke to stick fireworks under cars and on street lamp posts when people are passing, through letter boxes etc, my girl has not encountered fireworks night yet, but my other dog goes frantic going to and fro looking for small spaces to hide in.
