However they can also do a lot of harm: frightening pets and animals, burning property and flora, and capable of serious personal injury (or death) – to the user, the audience or someone completely uninvolved. In addition, although they aren’t legal to set off after November 5 (AFAIK), they continue to scare the family pets until well into the New Year. Plus they can be a huge, albeit optional, cost to families who might not be able to really afford them So I am interested to find out what others think on this subject. |

See the relevant legislation here (www.legislation.govt.nz). | Erayd (23) | ||

| 1149546 | 2010-11-01 21:44:00 | I love fireworks and I'm not a stupid idiot who would shoot them at my cat or other people etc. Anyone who does do that sort of thing should have to work in the burns ward of a hospital for a month. Then we'll see how funny they think it is. |

| 1149547 | 2010-11-01 21:45:00 | Also it's true to say that stopping selling fireworks as in a ban may lead to bigger problems such as people making their own bigger, better and more improved models. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
