Fireworks are very harmful to our environment, our animals are bewildered, not just our family pets but the birds of the area and so forth. It creates anxiety on may levels, just this year, it sounded like war in our streets, and some animal had to run for their lives and then being driven over by the cars.

The loud noise of fireworks traumatizes me due to PTSD.
It traumatizes pets, wildlife animals and bird life.
If you take a drive down Theuns van Niekerk road in Centurion, you will notice a place called Bishop Bird Park. This is home to wild buck. They end up running into the fences around them.
A little bit further there is Rooihuiskraal Terrein which also has numerous animals there that can't be put in kennels for anyone’s convenience.
Aside from these, take 5 minutes after a fireworks explosion and listen to the panic amongst the wild bird life.
Bees become so disoriented they don’t go back to their hives.
Wild animals raising babies abandon their dens in fear.
Fish and other animals perish after ingesting fireworks debris.

The several bomb crackers that were shot off in Pretoria Gardens was totally unacceptable at my boundary back wall.
My dogs were beyond terrified with the huge bangs.
I breed with several types of birds as well as exotic birds and after the bomb crackers last night they were frightened and injured themselves by flying in the cages trying to escape which is totally unacceptable. Today 01/01/25 I have several dead and injured birds as well as the loss (death) of 3 Sulpher crested cocatoo's of which was totally unacceptable.
I fully support a total ban of fireworks in all the Pretoria suburb areas.
