What's been in the news this week...

Did you know, that this week, with flying colours, Auckland council with just under 90% (Or 7997 people) votes decided to petition the government to ban private use of Fireworks! It would then be illegal to let fireworks off at your house!!

The SPCA, Fire and Emergency NZ, NZ Veterinary Association and SAFE all spoke in favour of the ban. The biggest concerns raised in the submissions were the safety of people and animals, followed by noise.

I agree with this decision as I have two dogs and one is terrified of fireworks! People can still go to public displays.
