    Fireworks are not less noisy than  they used to be. I have asked many people their views on this and they all agree with me.

    For 6 nights now, my little dog has cowered under my bed. The damned things are still going BANG!!

    Pollyanna:
    Fireworks allowed at organized displays only and stick to Nov 5, I think. Or the Saturday night closest to that date.

    Fireworks are not less noisy and where I live we do not have less than when I was a child but more.  When I was a child they only went off on bonfire night and New Years Eve now they go off all year round for birthdays, new baby births, weddings, Eid, Dwvali, Chinese New Year and whenever the kids/reens find any left over in their homes.

    As for being responsible, I have an Adaptil plug in, Adaptil oral tablets, we close the curtains, put the radio on loud, have 3 dens, and a thunder shirt for my dog who is afraid what else can I physically do it's so bad (if someone can yell me know I will upload a short video to show) for him I'm asking my vet for a sedative before New Years Eve and for all the major national celebration/holiday events in future

    It's traumatic for animals (e.g. dogs hear much more intensively (especially, higher frequencies), they can hear on frequencies that we don't spot at all because their anatomy is different. It can cause them normal pains in ears and later, headaches/migraines, not just stress. For some of the dogs, stress is merely a visible symptom, consecutive symptom of a headache). We could also discuss asthmatics, etc.

    The chances are, you can easily find cooperative support from different groups, you try to reach what is already for decades in legislative of rather other countries. Minimally, the vast majority of countries limit it for the new year, for one day a year. Yea, it's popular. Many other games/fun also used to be popular and almost none understood why it should be prohibited, but now, within the united public opinion after the time (rather than a cultural distance or almost zero evolutional change), "almost none understands the opposite"... 

    Best regards

    Hi everyone, how are you all doing? I know fireworks aren't isolated to one evening so I hope everyone is okay and isn't finding this time of year too distressing. :)
