Campaigners in Scotland have called for action to end the “misery” caused by fireworks. According to a research last month, thousands of people responded to the Scottish government consultation on fireworks amid growing concerns about being used irresponsibly and recklessly. While some are in support of making tighter controls on the sale of firecrackers, others feel there should be strict laws on how they can be used. Animals are injured while they try to escape the noise of fireworks. As shown in the above video, dogs tremble in distress when they hear crackers bursted outside.
