Posted: 11/2/2009 5:59:18 PM | Id like to know  why certain people decide that farm land is the perfect aiming/landing zone for thier fireworks?
for the last week/maybe two weeks people have been using our field as a aiming/landing zone for thier fireworks ! many hitting the outer buildings with animals in, dont you people realize what you are doing or is that what you what to do ?
Im now of the opinion that firework sales to the general public should be banned,
or at least limited to sale to the week of bonfire nite ! | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 6:41:02 PM | Some kids thought aiming them at me and my dog while out on a walk was hilarious. Getting my dog away safely was my priority, the little blighters wouldn't have thought it was so funny otherwise!
I agree with the banning of fireworks, they're dangerous at the best of times...in the hands of morons they're deadly. I hope your animals were OK OP!
A few pretty lights aren't worth the damage fireworks can cause when in the wrong hands, not to mention the stress they cause to animals at the best of times. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 1:52:41 AM | I think fireworks should be banned from public sale, essentially they are nothing more than explosives and the misuse of them can be deadly, and harmfull as posted by others above. Bonfire night fireworks should be only allowed as part of an organised display, with the permission of local councils. That way firework displays could be limited to areas away from built up populations, an out right ban on the public sale would go some way too stopping the idiots and tards who use fireworks as toys, or as a weapon.
I have no understanding why the government allows the sale of potentially deadly explosives, madness in my opinion. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 1:56:46 AM | I don't believe domestic fireworks should be banned completely, I do believe that they should be sold only in specialised shops and that a licence should be required by anyone who wants to buy them.
The licence should be issued only after a safety certificate is obtained. The government is missing out on another chance for to make some much needed cash.
I have never played with fireworks, and when any of my mates at school did I would tell them they were idiots and walk away.
Anyone who uses them to scare or harm animals or people for that matter should be ashamed of themselves. I would love to teach them a lesson, the suggestion Brutus made seems fitting 
p.s I love fireworks, even thought about going into pyrotechnics but I don't think my lungs could handle it lol | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 3:15:23 AM | I also agree that fireworks should be banned from public sale. I think that this would drastically cut down on the amount of accidents every year. Sadly though I cannot imagine the government causing this ban, but i would like the use of fireworks to be banned on any day, except:
New Years Eve
Chinese New Years eve/day
Bonfire Night AND the weekend that falls closest to it.
This way there should be easy planning for pet owners and alot of less traumatised animals! | |

Thats ok for domestic animals, not for farm animals though is it, unless you install an entertainement system in the barn to drown the noise out..
I hate being outside when the rockets are gong off coz you just dont know where their gonna land.. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 5:01:49 AM | the best landing zone iv ever seen was on the back of some blokes head..when i was a young brat..me and my mates bought a rocket between us with our pocket money..we then put it in a bottle and lit it..the bottle fell over and the rocket shot out verticaly..and hit some bloke on the back of the head and blew up and set his hair alight..i know it aint funny now and it could of hit him in the face and blinded him..blah blah..but it was funny at the time... | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 6:47:11 AM | I think fireworks should only be sold to those who hold a licence, and in order to obtain that licence a person should have to be trained in their safe usage, and be holding a public display.
I hate the damned things! They terrify my cat, intimidate people on the streets, and on top of causing distress to domestic livestock pose a very real danger once they have landed in both grazing fields and playing fields.
Ever seen the leftover metal stake from a sparkler embedded in the knee of a Sunday afternoon footballer? Not pretty. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 7:19:29 AM | I have very happy memories of firework night.....family gatherings, steaming hot bowls of chilli, jacket potatoes, the kids having a fantastic time and the dad's getting all macho (what is it with men and fires/BBQ?s ....?).....why should the majority of responsible members of the community have to suffer yet another banning just because of the minority of moron's?
What should be regulated is the size of the fireworks sold to the general public....there is absolutely no reason why display sized rockets should be sold in shops...these should only be sold by specialist suppliers to the organisers of official, licenced displays..........but please.......let's leave mum, dad and the kids SOMETHING they can still enjoy without the fun police ruining it! | |

I can just see their little ( well large ) butts swaying to the music.
Vivid imagination so I have.. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 7:53:45 AM | Tut, so yet again an irresponsible few spoil things for others
Whatever happened to common sense, on Halloween, even though I had around 30 rockets in the house, come the witching hour I felt I was toooo drunk, to let any off unsupervised, so didn`t
But then it was probably `cos I remembered New Years Eve, when one got stuck by my bathroom window and blew my guttering and three tiles down
Was accused of being an idiot for filming the mishap on me phone whilst everyone else ran for cover, doh!! | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 8:12:16 AM | | if i were in your shoes p.w i honestly would just get the farm shotgun and blast the feck out of them, failing that a decent couple of dogs (dont mean off ere!) and give the order sick em! to be honest its been quiet around here so far, as does get on my nerves as it is an actual offence to light/let off fireworks after 11pm except for licenced events. if i had my way the only place to see them would be at a council organised event or sometimes the fireservice do it to raise cash. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 9:19:03 AM | Another thing I'd like to complain about is that there seems to be no bonfires on bonfire night????? WTF????? I guess the health and safety bahhumbuggers have been at it again. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 9:44:19 AM | | I have never bought fireworks, just the sparklers for the kids. I am in the opinion that Fireworks should be for public display events only. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 9:49:31 AM | Hi OP
I would be more than happy to not have fireworks on sale to the general public, im scared to death of lighting them so never buy them, instead i always take my son to an organised display, plus it would stop them going off from the beginning of Nov until New Years Day! | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 10:02:28 AM | i had a very heated disscussion with the fella who lives opposite me last saturday, he thought it would be a good idea to let rockets off down our road. a 50+ bloke laying rockets in the road at 1am, fooking pratt woke my 2 young daughters up. cars parked on the verges aswell.
organised displays should be the only way theese things should be used,to many****heads getting there hands on fireworks nowdays. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 10:22:39 AM | Gucci Girl, your lucky (in many ways) fireworks going off only from beginning off november, think i heard first lot go off around begining of October,
again i cant see any good reason for fireworks to be sold from late sept early october esp when everyone knows they be set off long before bonfire nite,
but question is where the idoits who are setting them off night in day out, where the getting all the money from for them ! | |

Cheap fireworks can easily be made too be louder, with tape and cardboard. And with reference to my earlier post thats exactly why fireworks should be banned, they can easily be taken apart and reconstructed into something more deadly, explosives should not be on sale to the general public FULL STOP!!!!!! and an exclamation mark or two | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 2:20:41 PM | I agree with many - fireworks should not be sold to the public and should only be available to licenced specialists for organised displays.
I've had livestock and still have horses and hate this time of the year (well between September when they are first set off all the way through to New Years eve).
Thankfully my cats, dog and hens don't seem to mind them but my little mare is terrified, I have had to stuff her ears with cotton wool and have her sedated on the nights of the big displays but thankfully this year she is in a much more rural location so fingers crossed she'll be better :) | |
