MikeThere's f*ckin fireworks going off nearby - and no sign of them stopping. Money to burn?<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/banfireworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#banfireworks</a>

HerbivoreTo animals, fireworks are just loud, terrifying explosions that trigger their fight or flight instincts. Each year, countless cats, dogs, horses, and wildlife are left confused, disoriented, injured, or even DEAD 😡<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BanFireworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BanFireworks</a>

MiBaWi - Michael BarthelFireworks tradition - Yeah, nothing is more traditional than setting off fireworks during Christmas.Traditionally, fireworks were for the rich, not for the common people. Today it is the mob who are deliberately abusing the end-of-year tradition. Fireworks are no longer fun, it is just a new form of terrorism.<a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/stopfireworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stopfireworks</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/EndFireworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EndFireworks</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/BanFireworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BanFireworks</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/Fireworksban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fireworksban</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/Feuerwerksverbot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Feuerwerksverbot</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/vuurwerkverbod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vuurwerkverbod</a>

HYPERPEACEI'm willing to admit that Fireworks are actually acts of terrorism. Where I live, they've been going off nearly every day for the past month. Which is fucking insane, I never had this in my last place and that was a busy place.On top of this, can we just please not ignore the fact that it's a stupid amount of consequences for such trivial pleasure as a flashing light explosion in the sky that appears for a few seconds? <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/fireworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fireworks</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/banfireworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#banfireworks</a>

Shannon Meilak - AdvocateCOUNCIL UNDERMINES & IGNORES WHAT PETITION CALLS FOR.Letter can be read in the petition update. Link in Bio.Response: I am most disappointed in this response and to be honest, find it unacceptable. Not only has it taken 3 months to receive this response, but the petition and its 368 signatories, call on Council to cease granting permits to event organisers, that allow them to have fireworks displays. In case there is any confusion, the petition clearly states:"BRIMBANK: IT IS TIME TO END THE USE OF FIREWORKS AND START USING SAFER ALTERNATIVES! We call on Brimbank City Council to stop granting permits that allow the use of fireworks at events in our community. There are better and safer alternatives available, such as drones or lasers, and we need to see these become the only option for event organisers.”Starting that "Council officers have formed a view that the majority of issues caused by fireworks are through the illegal use and detonation of fireworks which is not covered under Council’s permit system” and advising people to make a complaint to the police, is both pointless and completely unacceptable.The 368 people who have signed this petition have not asked for your opinion of what is causing the most harm to the community, nor does it ask Council to address the problem of illegal fireworks and as such, I respectfully request a response that directly addresses what the petition and its signatories are calling for; an immediate cessation of Council granting permits to event organisers to host fireworks displays.I look forward to your timely and appropriate response.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/banthebang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#banthebang</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/banfireworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#banfireworks</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/inclusionmatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inclusionmatters</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/animalwelfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#animalwelfare</a> I URGE EVERYONE WHO HAS SIGNED THIS PETITION, TO IMMEDIATELY CONTACT COUNCIL VIA EMAIL AND ADVISE THAT YOU WANT A RESPONSE THAT DIRECTLY ADDRESSES THE ACTION WE HAVE CALLED FOR - THAT IS FOR COUNCIL TO STOP ISSUING PERMITS TO EVENT ORGANISERS FOR FIREWORKS!Thank you for your continued support in this campaign.

Shouty personKira’s not afraid of fireworks the way the boys are, but she does get quite annoyed by them. She barks, which upsets the other dogs even when they’re sedated. So last night I gave her a bit of trazodone too. The effects are still in play 18h later. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BanFireworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BanFireworks</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BonfireNight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BonfireNight</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/DogsArePeopleToo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsArePeopleToo</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Mondog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mondog</a>

Shannon Meilak - AdvocateOriginal toot date: 17 January, 2023Hi everyone. I have just started a PETITION to end the use of FIREWORKS in Brimbank. I have been in communication with council but it seems they are no longer responding. Can I please ask you all to SIGN the petition and perhaps even SHARE it with family and friends? It would be so helpful and hopefully we can end the harm coming to the animals in this area who are traumatised ALL throughout December and again in January. The petition will give me the support I need to show council I am not a lone voice in the community.

Melissa Ratisher ⓋAh yes, Independence Day, when we get to spend several days consoling our terrified pets and infants, and see our wildlife friends freaking out all around us. The only thing consoling me is that, statistically speaking, at least one of the douchebags lighting all the fireworks around here will probably lose a finger.<a href="https://veganism.social/tags/banfireworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#banfireworks</a>
