Title: Fireworks
Post by: Maddiesmum on October 15, 2008, 18:21:28 PM

Now on sale in supermarkets.  I am emailing all my local supermarkets protesting at their sale of what, after all, are explosives and hopefully lots more people will do it too.

I have no time for them whatsoever (fireworks that is).  My dog Pepsi (RIP) collapsed with an angina attack because some little toe rag let a big banger off and it was weeks before bonfire night.  I almost lost her and if I could have got my hands on whoever did it, child or no child, I don't like to think what I might have done.

I don't condone organised displays either, I have only ever been to two in my life (one run by the FIre Brigade) and at both of them someone was injured or burned.

If we had explosives in our possession at any other time of year we would probably be accused of terrorism.  Terrifying defenceless animals (and sometimes old people), not to mention the strays and wildlife is not my idea of fun.  Rant over

Ooo freaky. I just read a post on dogpages about fireworks .. and it was your post.

Have to say I completely agree. I hate fireworks with a passion, and it really annoys me when people say "oh it's just for a few nights" I challenge anyone to spend a night with Molly when there are fireworks around then tell me they still enjoy them  >:(

They do a display here from a boat. Last year it sank and they had to cancel  :evillaugh: - I hope they call it a day. The council support it  :tired:
