While I sympathise with the effects such events must have on animals, I would say where should such bans stop? Stop New Year's Eve celebrations for a start. Pop concerts in our main park and cultural gatherings happen several times a year. Despite living a mile away, I can easily hear the music in my house, so goodness knows how the wildlife living nearby must feel. Then there is the effect of cars, how many cats are run over each year, let alone all the wildlife such as hedgehogs, deer etc. In fact, I think the only way to protect animals completely is to ban mankind altogether.
Actually, thinking about it, inconvenience cuts both ways. Someone in my street must have just purchased a cat, as I've seen one in my garden on and off in recent weeks, and have also found it's mess too. There's also been an increase in the amount of dog's mess I've had to walk around in the streets. I'd be happy for firework night to be banned if I knew that in future, I could walk down the street, and even more importantly, my own PRIVATE back garden without having to worry about the mess someone else's animal has left there.
