Wrong thread, Joe and Robo.

What do American politics have to do with Guy Fawkes Day? If we tried to introduce Guy Fawkes Day into the ‘US Election/Donald Trump’ threads, you’d very quickly jump on it.

Can’t you stick to your own US Politics threads, and out of our Guy Fawkes thread?

We are counting the very few days that we have from Fall weather to Winter weather. Right now we have lots of brightly colored falling leaves, but by the end of the month that starts tomorrow we should be experiencing frozen ground, frozen lakes, and that entry wave of road accidents due to high speeds, slow reflexes, and not enough winter tires installed.
It didnt occur to me that our Presidential election will be on Guy Fawkes Day. And it won't occur to 99.7% of U.S. voters. Maybe I'll find a Guy Fawkes commemorative pin or colored hat to wear. The hat I was thinking of wearing is blue and says: "Make Lying WRONG Again!"

There's always a bit of doggie oversensitivity when it comes to John. There is a legitimate grouse in this country when it comes to dogs and their owners - by no means all of 'em, of course - about irresponsible and antisocial behaviour. Not just the universal dogshit problem, but also of loose-running dogs in parks and on beaches, etc., that intimidate people whether or not the dogs "mean it." Some owners are so bloody stupid...("oh, he's only being friendly!" etc.). A minority (a word worth emphasising) of doggie owners seem to have this feeling of entitlement, that owning a dog somehow elevates them above the rest of us, "my pooch can't stand fireworks, so ban 'em, and why can't my pooch run free (and shit) on your beach...sod your kids..."

Well done Steve. Another one driven away by your non-stop boorishness and judgmental preaching. Hope you’re proud of yourself.

I think that is very unfair, John. It was me that brought up the incongruous nature of Sen's apparent care for animals while supporting the Tories in their war against the poor and those least able to defend themselves. If anyone is to blame it is me and, yes, I am proud of highlighting blatant hypocrisy where it rears its head. I think her departure was brought on by the fact that the bitter pill of truth was too difficult to swallow. Just my 2p.

Well I'd like to see the evidence of these claimed "dozens." Did you do a survey? The other thing is, poor you, you'd find it expensive to board your dog. Well I find it expensive, as a taxpayer and non-dogowner, to provide you with countless dog bins as well as the council chaps to empty them. Nice work if you can get it, eh? Not to speak of the cost of clearing dogshit from our streets and parks, needed in order to keep us all safe from disease. I don't think you pay enough for the privilege of owning your dog. A licence costing a couple of hundred a year would be about right, I reckon.

As for not knowing what I'm talking about, we've had cats, one, two or three at a time, for most of the last half-century. Unlike dogs, cats like to be out in the November gloaming, but we've never had any difficulty keeping them indoors on bonfire night. The other night we had a vicious thunderstorm, right overhead. We jumped out of our skins several times, but our pussycat didn't bat an eyelid. From what you're saying, it would have given your poor pooch a fatal heart attack. Maybe it never thunders in Croydon.

"When maybe so many of them should be making the effort to take more responsibility
for properly training and protecting their pets..."

What is this "proper training" I see above - do tell us. A lot of posters to this thread DO NOT know what they are talking about.

The only solution as far as we are concerned is boarding out at premises with a soundproof room, as we did for our greyhound on 5th & 7th November - very expensive of course. Even now she hesitates before going outside in the dark. She will take a few weeks to completely get over the fireworks on Saturday night, when she completely went to pieces.

Dozens of greyhound owners reported the same.

I don't think fireworks are a right.

[too be honest, I gradually became bored years ago, with the same old same old displays..]

I do advocate reasonable tighter control on firework sales and use.

But what I am complaining about are the apparently organised loud lobby of UK pet owners,
selfishly bombarding social media with demands for draconian restrictions..

When maybe so many of them should be making the effort to take more responsibility

Just because one person has a dog that can take fireworks does not give 'em a right to judge dogs that they know not of.

The nervous dog I speak of was a large quite intelligent Labrador (the most popular breed in the U.S. according to the infallibal internets) owned her whole life by a couple of southerners who treated her well but were by now means of the 'indulgent' kind of dog owner. As a young dog she did not fear fireworks or loud bangs, but over a long life she developed a great fearful reaction to them. The people live in a great neighborhood but there is a lake nearby and folks take the opportunity when the holidays permit to set up backyard fire displays. Since the lake is usually frozen at New Years' people have some quite elaborate parties cookouts and displays to go with. I persnally find it fun, but I have heard from many folks that this is hard on many dogs.

The couple I mention have a young dog now which is immune to almost all sources of fear. So fireworks are not a concern but local traffic IS.

Interesting that some folks think fireworks are a right but gun ownership is not. They're all bangers.

I'm a lifelong dog lover who has little regard for irresponsible and over-selfish dog owners..

At the moment I'm particularly annoyed at the fanatical entitled agenda to create an "Us versus them" division in society.
In order to get fireworks banned, or reduced literally to damp Sqibs..

As with children, dogs have become too molly coddled and over pampered in the 21st century..

I suggest dogs of my childhood were far more robust and less neurotic,
due to being better acclimatised to external challenges and stimulation,
than the soft headed pooches of today..

My family's dogs were rabbit hunting companions used to shot guns.
or my best friend who I took on long big adventure walks in all sorts of environments and conditions.'
Geting him used to loud traffic, railway lines, boisterous rough gangs of my schoolmates, FIREWORKS, etc...

We could/should blame inexperienced dog owners, the rise in dog ownership as domestic status symbols and fashion accessories
.. and plenty of other modern day factors which drasticaly push up the prices of dog ownership,
which means dogs have increasingly more money invested in their upkeep,
making families over protective and inkibited from taking risks with their 'fur babies'assets/posessions...

.. and of course the INTERNET must again be blamed for indulging the crankier organized spectrum of dog owners...

Well we need to work harder to make sure that fireworks are hard to get illegally and to make sure that they are allowed on just the one night. What we shouldn't be doing is banning fireworks because people choose to have dogs. Life's all about compromises. I'll do a deal with dog owners: don't ask for fireworks to be banned because they scare your dogs (once or twice a year), and I won't call for dogs to be banned despite all the dogshit everywhere in my town (365 days a year).

FWIW here in the U.S. there are many dogs that are terrified of the fireworks that get set off in our neighborhood during July 4th, and New Years, many of them illegally. The old dog of my two closest friends had to be kept in a lighted room with the radio going full blast. I'm thinking that there might be an overpressure phenomenon for some dogs (clearly not all; some dogs seem to accept fireworks okay).

We of course don't have any Guy Fawkes Day that I'm aware of. I'd love to attend some day.

I hope you change your mind Senoufou. I enjoy your posts. I liked your post on this thread about Bonfire Billy.

Someone recently posted the following quote from Brian Cox:

"The problem with today’s world is that everyone believes they have the right to express their opinion AND have others listen to it.

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!"

Just scroll past posts that you don't like. You don't even have to read them if they are from any particular poster.

There is an element in nearly all posters to the net/web, of liking the sight of their own typing. Some more so than others.

I've called for stronger fireworks controls repeatedly myself in this thread, John.

And I could be reminding you of the petulant outbursts of expletives from the chap with wafer-thin house walls. I haven't driven anyone away, either. We're all grown-ups here who are free to go. Or stay.

Interestingly, for a refreshing change round here I've only heard fireworks on 5 November.

In the light of your ‘hypocrisy’ comment, you might also consider the hypocrisy of someone who excoriates others for calling for stronger fireworks controls because in your opinion, despite the damage they cause to animals, it would take away pleasure from people who enjoy them, but who himself authored a thread calling for the destruction of a social media platform that, despite its undoubted faults, brings pleasure and comfort to millions of people who enjoy taking part in it.
