New Zealand horse owner seeks ban on public fireworks after her horse died from fireworks scare.

A horse owner in New Zealand's Bay of Plenty is calling for a ban on public fireworks sales after her horse, Rockafella, was fatally injured, likely from being spooked by fireworks and running into a fence. The incident has sparked a petition signed by over 75,000 people, with the SPCA and NZ Veterinary Association also supporting a ban. Environment Minister Penny Simmonds is considering these restrictions.
