This is a poor analogy/argument.
 
To anyone wondering what it's like in London: I arrived here on Guy Fawkes and expected the usual fireworks nonsense, and got it. All night. And every night after that for weeks now, because of Diwali, Chinese New Year, Christmas and New Years. Even when it's pissing down, there's some tard somewhere firing off a rocket.

Because the gunpowder plot actually took place here, the city likes to go big with its controlled celebrations, usually on the Thames outside the houses of parliament. It really is spectacular. Same thing for New Years. There are also dozens of commons in London (basically huge open parks) where properly organised, professional firework displays are done. But do you think that stops everyone and their mom getting their own ****ty little fireworks and setting them off in the heavily built up streets of Greater London? Not a chance. You'd think a city that burnt down twice would have stricter laws: my brother-in-law even went to the police to ask what the laws were because people in his neighbourhood were going ape**** with the fireworks outside of any usual celebration date. They just shrugged their shoulders and said there's nothing they can do. He has two dogs that've had a nightmare of a time in the last two months. He's not intolerant - he understands there are set dates, and he prepares accordingly. But when it's before and after those dates?

This country is too scared to infringe on anyone's rights to do anything, or to seem un-PC. I guess as much as it annoys the crap out of me and ****s with my RIGHT to peace and quiet, stopping them from doing it would infringe on the idiots' RIGHT to enjoy their little festivals in the middle of very compact neighbourhoods.

My contention is when they go ape **** on random nights. Having a weekend of fireworks at the beginning of November is fine and all. But as you say. How do responsible pet owners or parents of toddlers manage their charges, when just about every night between October and Jan is a free for all.

Designated nights need to be set up and agreed upon. Not sure how Diwali works, but surely a single night or two at most could be agreed upon. I dont know. I guess there are bigger concerns in the world.
 
*boom* awwww isn't that pwetty. F@king retards.
 
In Gauteng you can only have fireworks in designated areas. This new year I was in Durban and I had to hide in the middle of the house where I was a guest, with my dogs. And they were still scared there. The one seemed okay with just having me around, but the other one tried to run at every blast and there were a lot.

Fireworks should be regulated at a national level. I really didn't expect this much fireworks. I gave my dogs calming pills but that didn't help. Why should I knock out my dog. And there weren't just fireworks on New Years day, but New Years day was definitely the worst.

Where are these designated areas in Gauteng? Is this published somewhere ?

I'm in Jhb (paulshof). The retards in and around my area were lighting these fireworks at their homes. The remnants of these fireworks were falling on my roof. Lucky I don't have a thatched roof.

Is a private residence a designated area? In terms of the bylaws, I don't think so.

Having lived in Durban , I know that there are far more fireworks. So for the last 15 years I have chosen to spend New Years in JHB with my pets.
But , I have also noticed that more and more people have been lighting fireworks in Jhb over the last few years.

I am in Tshwane and on their FB page they state you are not allowed anywhere privately, but stadiums etc can apply for special permission:

Johannesburg should be similar.

Virtual bombs don't hurt anyone.
 
I appreciate a great fireworks display, like the V@A used to host. But my previous dogs lost it with any bang. Dunno why our two current staffs are kool with bangs (lightning rare, huge noises from the wind they just bark)? But I feel a good coordinating spectacular works show is kool. See Sydney, also a great marketing tool for cities.

That said some **** lets one off near my house and I Will be the first out to find out who it is. That's irresponsible. That's what should be banned!!!

I have seen how susceptible dogs are to these noises. Doggie rescue .to calm them,have a sitter with them or be there yourself.
 
Friend of mine tried this and it seems to have calmed down one of his dogs a bit:

Looks awkward. Rescue for dogs, at your local vet, drops on some boerie, works great if someone is home with them,guess a relaxant? TBH I needed more than a few drops falling out on an airplane@ 0700 boxing day.

Rescue does sweet fek all for my dogs.. even the vet prescribed sedatives are not effective for my dogs...
