The Issue

Shops and supermarkets are selling fireworks far too early. Fireworks in this country are a tradition of November 5th to celebrate guy Fawkes. Many areas of this country are experiencing fireworks as early as September continuing through to November. For people with pets, farm animals, small children and also wildlife this is very distressing. I believe that sales of fireworks for this purpose should be limited to maximum 5 days prior to the event by law. Also if fireworks are to be purchased for any other event then permission should be granted by a local council or police, and local communities informed. As a pet owner I feel very strongly on this issue, and also for parents of small children, or children with a disability who this constant barrage of fireworks affects greatly.
