Scotland on Sunday readers' letters: Scotland should lead the way on fireworks ban in UK

Year after year we hear the same horror stories about fireworks terrifying domestic and wild animals, and riots on our streets with police and firefighters pelted with bricks and fireworks on arrival.

The laws governing the sale of fireworks are completely useless and the only way to stop this madness is to have a total ban on retail sales of fireworks.

The Scottish Government would get total support from the Scottish electorate by being the first in the United Kingdom to ban fireworks.
