The risk of injury, terror to animals and noise disturbance hardly seems worth it for something so trivial and unneccessary.

Did you find out where they came from? It seems there are more people out there with the same anti-firework feelings than I thought. Time to do something? Good luck with DBERR - ridiculous acronym.

The sheep are terrified. The llama goes loopy. Explosions and animals do not go. Explosions and people should not go. If they can't be made silent (first choice) I'd happily ban the lot. Killjoy is my middle name. But tonight I shall be at Hatherleigh Carnival watching the tar barrels being towed through the street at top speed, shooting flames and sparks at the crowd and bugger the health and safety.

I have a Border Collie who is affected in the same way as your dogs. I have tried all remedies (herbal, DAP, firework CD) to no avail. I feel sorry for all the distress caused to animals. Just to cap all this, last year three rockets landed on the roof of my house and exploded, shattering the tiles! I have just written to the Govt department concerned (DBERR - what a stupid title) to complain that the collection of statistics for fireworks injuries has been disbanded, a retrograde step I think. I agree about your love for a good bonfire. Hear hear Paula. I have a Border Collie who is affected in the same way as your dogs. I have tried all remedies (herbal, DAP, firework CD) to no avail.
