SPCA renews push to get fireworks banned
An animal welfare group has renewed its push to persuade the Government to ban fireworks sales for personal use all year round.
Fireworks can only be bought by the public for a few days before each Guy Fawkes' night on November 5 but many people stock up and use them at Christmas and New Year.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' chief executive Robyn McDonald said they were appalled by the widespread use of fireworks during the summer holiday and were more determined than ever to get a ban on the sale of fireworks for personal use.
She said the loud screeches, explosions and bright flashes, terrified animals and cause them to bolt in panic.
"It's bad enough that animals should have this terror imposed on them for a couple of weeks in late October and early November.
"But it's appalling that they should be forced to endure further fright and anguish for months afterwards."
