00:00I've got a dog who's particularly panicky around fireworks and my view on them is that they should

00:05be controlled. I've come more and more to that opinion in the last four or five years,

00:10not just for owning a pet but just through living where I live. I've noticed that since the pandemic

00:16you can't come into October now without hearing fireworks and then you're pretty much not going

00:21to hear them stop until middle of January. I think fireworks generally should be in

00:26organised settings due to the hazard risks especially in domestic settings. I think basic

00:33fireworks obviously not the huge noisy things are fine but I do appreciate I'm not a dog owner but

00:41I do appreciate that animals possibly could get a bit frightened. It's not everybody's cup of tea

00:48suddenly banging in the middle of the night but everybody likes to see sparklers and the

00:54and the roman candles and stuff like that so a bit of discretion.
