Every year, the uncontrolled use of fireworks across the nation brings distress to countless citizens, pets, and wildlife, turning moments of celebration into nights of trauma and environmental disruption. Despite existing laws under the Summary Offences Act (Chap 11:02) and the Explosives Act (Chap 16:02), which regulate the use, importation, and sale of fireworks, enforcement remains virtually nonexistent. Fireworks continue to explode indiscriminately in communities, often causing widespread harm. The Environmental Management Authority (EMA) has recommended banning the importation of loud fireworks, restricting their use to specific occasions and government-managed venues, and promoting quieter alternatives. This approach is both logical and compassionate. Roger Neckles, in a letter to the editor, advocates for a total ban on the public sale and use of fireworks, with exceptions only for Independence Day and New Year’s Eve celebrations at authorized, government-supervised venues. This proposal aims to balance cultural traditions with public safety, animal welfare, and environmental responsibility. Fireworks cause significant suffering to pets, wildlife, and vulnerable populations, including the elderly, the sick, and children on the autism spectrum. The loud detonations disorient nesting birds, bats, and forest animals, often leading to death or abandonment of their young. Neckles urges citizens to express joy through kindness, such as supporting charities or community causes, rather than through harmful smoke, debris, and noise. He calls on leaders to enforce existing laws and protect people and wildlife from this annual assault on peace and sanity.
