WE recently had a Christmas bargain leaflet pushed through our door from a major superstore and could not believe that among the items, they were offering fireworks!
Is it not time the law was reviewed regarding the sale of fireworks?
We own a four-year-old border collie who has and still is suffering terribly the last few weeks because of them being let off virtually every night in the streets around our home - they were actually on sale locally since early October.
We can accept we will have problems around November 5 and can prepare for that but it just seems to go on and on.
Our dog is petrified and will not go out and if he is out, he is uncontrollable if a firework goes off.
We feel fireworks should be banned from general use other than November 5 and only available otherwise for organised displays.
We know of several animal lovers whose pets suffer the same way.
