There are plans to have fireworks at both the V&A Waterfront and Simonstowns harbour New Year, as well as the usual public areas where members of the public may discharge fireworks.

We would like to petition the City to retract any such permits, noise exemptions notwithstanding, due to the environmental, human health and injury as well as the inevitable wild and domestic animal trauma and injury cost of fireworks.

You can visit www.bwcsa.co.za and get information on fireworks and a veterinary report on fireworks and animals, on our campaigns page.

We need Capetonian voices loud and clear, making their demands known. Please sign this petition so you , your family and companion animals may enjoy a peaceful New Year!
