I hate fireworks and what it does to animals!

I cannot stand to see the distress placed on animals & all wildlife by the unguided and abuse of fireworks & fire crackers. Our family has incurred personal tragic loss of a dog due to the terror it was forced to endure by the abuse of fireworks.

I love animals and hate the crackers causing unnecessary pain and causing animals to get hurt and the owners broken hearted

(Nelspruit, 2017-01-02)

#6

It is totally unacceptable to allow something that has caused so many animals to be left in distraught because of these crackers! So many are left homeless and dead for the pleasure of 1 nights 'pretty' lights. How do you justify that for the life of an innocent animal who has no choice but to trust in the pathetic human race to keep them safe as they cannot always defend them self.

My pets as well as myself are terrified of fireworks. Also my neighbours almost burnt down our gazebo due to negligent fireworks. Fireworks are dangerous and terrifies me and my family which includes our pets.

The animals do not need to go through hell and suffer

(Nelspruit, 2017-01-02)

Fireworks harm animals and cause serious injuries and death.

(Nelspruit, 2017-01-02)

#18

I have animals who were petrified even after medication and people were using fireworks in the street one house away. Even after telling them ut was illegal they didnt care less. No police or security came out!

(Nespruit/ Mombela, 2017-01-02)

#21

We have a neighbour (government offical) who sets off fireworks EVERY new year. When speaking to him he ignores you.. When calling the police/security companies as we are told to do nothing happens. Time to pass a law and lock these people up

(Nelspruit, 2017-01-02)

#25

I can't bear the carnage that follows New Year's Eve any more. Please stop this archaic and cruel practice. Too many animals get traumatised and injured or killed by an evening of entertainment, not to mention what it must do to people with psychiatric disorders or PTSD.

(White River, 2017-01-02)

#26

It is getting worse in stead of better! Will authorities only do something once a person is injured? I am sick and tired of having to dope my animals every year because of other people's selfishness. And then we have to drive the streets of Mbombela every year to rescue all the terrified animals! It is against the law in any case but our local law enforcement does nothing.

(Nelspruit, 2017-01-02)

I love animals and hate to see them suffer like that each year

(White river, 2017-01-02)

I signing this because the ligtning of fireworks is disturbing and causing death to many dogs in the area. It also have s big impact on nature. Birdies is leaving their nest and babies never to return again. Nobody is ganing from this only the people that selling. Please make Mpumalanga a no sone area for fireworks.

A few minutes of colourful entertainment is not worth the hours of trauma suffered by all the animals.

(Nelspruit, 2017-01-02)

(White River, 2017-01-02)

#58

People cannot stick to the rules and it hurts to see the reaction of my own animals when the fireworks goes off so close to your house it seems as if it was lit in your backyard. As many fun photos you see on social media after a major event where fireworks were involved, so many pictures of lost or found animals... Or harmed animals.

(Nelspruit, 2017-01-02)

People do not have respect for sleeping babies, sounds like a warzone outside our windows. Even as an adult my heart jumps everytime it sounds like a bomb going off and as a pregnant lady this stress has had a negative impact on me.

I am for the total banning of fireworks in all shape and form and the subsequent lawful prosecution of those who use fireworks without due permission in undesignated areas.

I consider the unmonitored use and sale of fireworks extremely dangerous to:
- person, wildlife and livestock,
- poses fire hazards in a relatively dry country.
- people through personal injury to participants, spectators are innocent bystanders.

In addition there religious justification for there use is antiquated and shows total intolerance to others..
