As a post on Facebook just said: FireworksTerrify birds literally to deathDisorient the remainder so they lose their nest and fledglings starve to deathTerrify wildlife who can die of heart attacks or bolt onto roads or into trees and die Terrify domestic animals - every year there are stories of animals who bolt and come to a bad end as a result of fireworksInjure people and animals (I personally know of someone who had his arm blown off) Cause pollution in land, sea and air Use child labour in production Are filled with toxins, including carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Some of the remarks on here reinforce my belief that Chiswick is home to some of the most stupid, selfish, and ignorant people on the planet who basically seem to live life for their own gratification, presumably swilling their Chablis with a couple of joints stuck up their nostrils and a blindfold. Probably old and deaf too.
