Professor Richard Dawkins has expressed opinion that our use of fireworks in the UK is selfish because of the 'terror' they inflict on our animals - wild and domestic. He goes on to make three suggestions.
Fireworks might be restricted to certain special days in a year, such as Guy Fawkes night and New Year's Eve.
Displays should only be put on by public bodies and not any old private citizens in their own back gardens.
Allow visually appealing fireworks but put a severe restriction on noise. Quiet fireworks do exist.
