Background
The loud unknown unexpected bangs causes more harm than good.
It causes mental health issues, creates negativity, trauma, shock symptoms which could lead to fatalities. It affect humans and animals. Animals do not have a voice yet their actions speak louder than words.
Soldiers, Police, those who have put their lives on the front line in hostile countries and had the unfortunate events of being in a firefight of arms and ammunition know all too well and hearing these bangs triggers trauma and seriously detrimentally impacts on mental health. Dogs, horses, farm animals etc are all affected for several hours, days, months, no for life afterwards and it is time to Stop the gunpowder use. It is unnecessary and pollutes the environment.
