Not a massive fan of fireworks or dogs, although probably prefer fireworks as they don’t get let off of a lead in Scadbury Park to try to bite my children and they also don’t leave their mess everywhere.
It reminds be of some locals around The Valley when we were trying to go back... blocking our return knowing that the football ground had been there for ages, much like fireworks.
That's not the dogs fault... It's the human unfortunately attached to the poor dog.
Just keep all dogs on leads then. I've had countless dogs jumping up at me wanting to play. If I wanted to play with a dog then I'd probably get one of my own.
I dont disagree with you. Just don't like it when people blame the dogs when it's the irresponsible owners fault.
Getting into a bit of a minefield, especially when some religious holidays like to celebrate with fireworks.
Let me rephrase that for you in to what you actually said:
"Getting in to a bit of a minefield, especially when some people that believe in things they can't prove, will never never be able to prove (due to it all being complete and utter lies that, for some reason, the general populace have been scared in to not calling each and every idiot out that believes any strain of religious idiocy) yet think others should accommodate their medieval bullsh*t but ignore the murder, slavery, misogyny, slaughter, racism and outright nastiness that runs through the veins of the belief system. All because they want to celebrate an un-provable diseased mindset with fireworks."
Very much welcome.
The great Thomas Paine would be proud of you.
It really grips my sh*t when people use religion as any form of justification for anything. Prove it, then we'll talk. Can't prove it then shut the f*ck up, keep it to yourself and stop indoctrinating children into your cult because your parents abused you with religion when you were young.
In short, religious people are the epitome of stupidity.
first firework night since we got a dog, he's been going banana's at some of the random late night bangs.
got nothing against fireworks, but why do people let them off every night for a fortnight around this time?. I can accept the 5th Nov and then the closest weekend to that date if it's a midweek

I agree with this, unless in a specified dog walking area.
I love the constant ignoring of the other named affected creatures & humans.
Cats, other pets, general wildlife and humans with mental health issues are also affected.
Stop trying to use just dogs as the example. Fact is many of us have dogs, so that's the first place we notice that fireworks cause distress.
If it were as others have said one or two weekends a year it wouldn't be a problem, but it's weeks either side of each event and now it's also around other cultural events too. As I work for the RSPCA I see evidence of and hear horror stories of what a lot of little shits get up to with fireworks across the nation.
Firing fireworks into badger sets, fox holes, rabbit holes. Strapping fireworks to animals, firing fireworks at animals... Last year I was up at the National Contact Centre listening to live calls as they came in and there were so many people reporting such things or seeking advice for their pets or wildlife that they'd found struggling with the trauma of it all.
Some advice for those of us that care about animals during these periods.
For more information on how fireworks, feel free to read this 'Bang out of Order' pamphlet that outlines the wider issues with fireworks and the irresponsible ways they're often used.
Regarding ban on fireworks being sold to the general public, my view on this is: as most people know November 5th 1605 was the day Guy Fawkes a Catholic from York was caught trying to blow up the houses of Parliament. He was barbaricly tortured and then executed. Is this a reason to celebrate? Maybe some Catholics wont think so. I don't think selling of fireworks should be banned, but it now seems to go on from October right into the new year, most animals don't like it! Just my opinion! What is Daiwi?
tax Fireworks to pay for the cost of hospital admissions, after care and fire brigade call outs related to firework incidents. If people have money to burn let them pay up to do so.
I used to love bonfire night, but it now costs a fortune to buy enough fireworks to make it worthwhile. I cant understand how people can afford to let fireworks off for days, or do people arrange, a rota when they take it in turns to annoy my pooch over a prolonged period of a week.
