Fireworks have been banned here for years, but you can guarantee there is no problem, for some people, getting them on new years eve.
My dog went burko last year because of them, tried to jump the fence and sliced her throat open, unfortunately she died before we could find a vet at 1am.
Cats, not that I hate them, I get really peeved with them fighting in my backyard, frontyard, on the house and shed roof in the middle of the night.
It was a nightly occurence but the council supplied cat trap is thinning them out, the registered ones go back to the owner with a nice fine and warning, the others go to animal welfare.
Oh yeh and cat $&!# really stinks when you hit it with the lawn mower too. Makes me
