The burn centers report that fireworks are causing a lot of suffering again this year. Since November, burn doctors have already had to treat 26 children due to serious injuries 9 fireworks victims have already been treated at the Beverwijk burn center, each time involving children. So far, 10 victims have arrived at the Maasstad Hospital, including 9 children. The Martini Hospital treated 10 people with severe burns, including 8 children.


Last Saturday, a 24-year-old man died in Ridderkerk after heavy fireworks exploded in his face. The fireworks were set off by another man. After two years in which fewer fireworks were set off due to corona, fireworks fanatics are now getting plenty of jobs again to pursue their dangerous and environmentally polluting hobby. GroenLinks and the Party for the Animals once again proposed this year to introduce a total ban on consumer fireworks, but there was no majority in favour of that in the House yet.

Many of our pets are panicked by firecrackers. Pets associate the bang and flash with thunderstorms. Instinctively, they know that this can involve danger and express it with fearful behavior, some more than others. Dogs can pant, bark, squeal, crawl away, and vibrate.
