        We need to do it globally and stop treating the planet like an adventure playground! The #Hogmanay display on Edinburgh Castle is all we need! Lets stop being spoiled little humans and treat the animals outside as our pets. Actually be "animal lovers" not just dogs and cats!

        I'd like fireworks banned everywhere. So overused now and unnecessary. Had fireworks going off at 10pm on Christmas eve waking kids & scaring all manner wildlife/domestic pets. I can't see it balances the tiny millisecond joy some people get. Apols to those who enjoy them.

        The same should be done here our poor animals most are terrified of them plus all the poor farm animals but you have no chance with a prime minister who thinks fox hunting is fun! (For the rich boys and royalty)
