Fireworks and your pets
Please think twice before you buy fire works, which will go on sale shortly.
Many of our pets are petrified of the loud noises which they are not used to. Some will hide in corners, or even run away going into a total state of shock with not very nice consequences.
Fire works at Guy Fawkes night is bad enough, but I have found for the last many years that people hoard them for their Summer parties, meaning it's on going till February usually, and it's unpredictable what nights they will be used.
Why not just have free public displays and ban the rest.
I am sure the fire department would be very happy about this.
Spare a thought for our animals.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
