It's absolutely traumatising for our animals and it's unnecessary in the suburban living areas. Animals get hurt and run away snd get lost and are upset dramatically.

Because to many animals, domestic and wild-gets hurt, lost, and die every time fireworks happen. Fireworks also hurts a lot of people with different illnesses and disabilities, including pts. Fireworks is a waste of money, and contribute nothing positive to our animals and these people. Its selfish, childish and plain evil.

It is harmful to all animals causing panic and distress and it is the ultimate of noise pollution and can cause serious injury to both animals and humans.

Fireworks are not good to Animals and Military/Police Veterans who suffer from PTSD.

David Dannhauser (Centurion, 2024-01-06)

Every year hundreds of pets get hurt. Many many people with me tal health issues from children with autism to adults with PTSD suffer all because a small portion of our society want to cash in on the loopholes in legislation and the inability of lawenforcement to enforce the current legislation. Ban all fireworks and recall all business licences to those businesses that sell. It is illegal. Get them in jail.

I have animals and have to see what they through every year. It breaks my heart. People have no regard for animals they have feelings and emotions just like we do. They suffer and have pain just like people. The bom crackers are the worst.

It illegal in South Africa according to the laws regarding dispersing of a weapon in a suburb. Fireworks contain gun powder which falls under the same Act. Fireworks are very traumatic for all animals causing sever injury, lost pets and death in different species. BAN FIREWORKS IN SA. PROTECT ALL AFFECTED BY IT. INSTITUTE THE LAWS IN PLACE.

Dogs, cats, birds and all animals are petrified by the extremely loud noise and flashing lights of fireworks. Every time we see proof of terrible injuries to pets; we get reports of pets that ran away; or got killed, children, babies and elderly, petrified of the terrible noise! It is time to heed the voice of the people against this outrageous and wasteful practice.
Please , make Pretoria a NO fireworks city!

Ban Fireworks.
Fireworks, while traditionally associated with celebrations, can have severe consequences for both people and the environment.

Personally, I have witnessed the negative impact of fireworks, not only on individuals who may be sensitive to loud sounds, such as pets, and young children, but also on the well-being of our environment. The loud and sudden explosions can cause distress and anxiety, leading to sleep disturbances and emotional distress for many.

Moreover, the environmental repercussions of fireworks are significant. The chemicals released during fireworks displays can contribute to air and water pollution, posing risks to our ecosystem. Wildlife, in particular, can be adversely affected, disrupting their habitats and well-being.

In light of these concerns, I am advocating for a ban on fireworks within our community. By taking this step, we can create a safer and more inclusive environment for everyone. I believe there are alternative ways to celebrate without causing harm to individuals and our surroundings.
