Tauranga市议会一致批准了禁止在海滩、道路和保留地等公共场所放烟火的法规,并援引了2024年一匹马死亡和另一匹马受伤后的安全及动物福利问题。 Tauranga City Council has unanimously approved a bylaw banning fireworks in public spaces like beaches, roads, and reserves, citing safety and animal welfare concerns after a horse died and another was injured in a 2024 incident. 禁令仅适用于理事会拥有的土地,因为理事会不能管制私有财产或销售。 The ban applies only to council-owned land, as the council cannot regulate private property or sales. SPCA支持这一行动,敦促在全国范围内限制私人烟火的使用。 The SPCA supports the move, urging nationwide restrictions on private fireworks use. 居民，包括死者家属，表示地方禁令无法阻止因私人广泛使用而造成的伤害，并呼吁全国范围内禁止私人销售。 Residents, including the family of the deceased horse, say local bans won’t stop harm due to widespread private use and are calling for a national ban on private sales. 对358个答复者进行的调查发现,目前对人、动物和财产的伤害还在持续,许多答复者主张只提供专业的、通知的显示器。 A survey of 358 respondents found ongoing harm to people, animals, and property, with many advocating for only professional, notified displays.
