Hi neighbours,
Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?
Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?
Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

Every year animals are injured, frightened or go missing due to fireworks. If you live near animals consider them and talk to the owner about your intentions, and if you own them plan ahead and keep them inside and safe.
Plan ahead by making sure your pet has company, is safe inside, and has proper identification. Here are some other tips for pet and livestock owners;
• Never let fireworks off close to animals
• Stay home with your pet – they will be less stressed with someone they trust close by
• Keep them indoors where the sights and sounds can be muffled. Turn on a radio or TV
• Make sure your pet has a place they feel safe
• Try a compression wrap for dogs, like a thunder shirt
• Comfort your pet, be calm and reassuring
• Never punish your pets when they are scared.
• Move horses and farm animals away from fireworks. Make sure all fences are secure
• Don’t forget small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs or chickens. Have them tucked away or even inside for the night.

This documentary follows passionate seed keepers who are protecting a 12,000 year-old food legacy. In the last century, 94 seed varieties have disappeared. A cadre of 10 agrichemical companies, including Syngenta, Bayer, and Monsanto, controls over two-thirds of the global seed market, reaping unprecedented profits. Farmers and others battle to defend the future of our food.
Standing in the peaceful streets of the French town Cambrai, Feilding man Carl Smith says it is hard to imagine the horror allied soldiers endured 100 years ago.

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.
"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."
Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here
