Some dogs love bonfire night.

I dont disagree with you. Just don't like it when people blame the dogs when it's the irresponsible owners fault.PopIcon said:
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.Sir Chrissy said:

Amen to that 🙏Big_Bad_World said:
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.bobmunro said:Big_Bad_World said:
Let me rephrase that for you in to what you actually said:SELR_addicks said:Getting into a bit of a minefield, especially when some religious holidays like to celebrate with fireworks.
"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.
In short, religious people are the epitome of stupidity.
That's all folks

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 midweek3 -
I agree with this, unless in a specified dog walking area.PopIcon said:

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.

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?1 -
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.2

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.
