Fireworks scare me.
Every year over the next few months people start to celebrate certain events and in doing so enjoy the use of fireworks. I suppose they add to the fun and excitement for most but there are a few who just don't care about how or where they use them.
When some of these FIREWORKS go off they can be very, very noisy and give off such big bangs that they scare me so much that I shake, start hyperventilating and try to hide away from the horrendous noise they make.
So I am asking everybody to just consider just how all the pets like me and all the wildlife who also suffer and become scared during these next few months to just think before you light that blue touch paper.
How many animals will this firework harm?
Welcome to the FAB Firework Campaign Official Website.
Our aim is to restore some much needed peace to our communities.
Does the law provide an appropriate balance between allowing for the safe enjoyment of fireworks by the public and minimising the risk of fireworks harming people, property or animals? Examples of the sorts of things you might like to talk about in reply to this question are:
Are the current limits on fireworks by explosive strength appropriate?
Are current restrictions on public sale and use appropriate?
Are current restrictions on noise levels appropriate?
Are current age restrictions appropriate?
Are safety standards stringent enough? If not, how should they be strengthened?
How effectively are the existing laws enforced by local authorities, trading standards, the police and others?
Why are traders allowed to sell fireworks weeks ahead of the dates of specific events, Guy night and New Years eve.
How might this be done differently?
How do the roles of public and private firework displays differ?
Could public firework displays more widely fulfil the role of private displays? If not, what prevents them from doing so?
What evidence do we have about how dangerous or safe different types of firework display, public and private, are?
Do we have enough data to give good answers to these questions?
How should laws around fireworks take account of the needs of particular groups such as the emergency services, retailers, cultural and religious communities, veterans, children or people with disabilities?
Should there be specific rules to protect animals?
Are the public and event organisers sufficiently aware of the necessary safety precautions when using fireworks?
