New Zealand horse owner seeks fireworks ban after her horse died from firework-related injuries.

A New Zealand horse owner is calling for a ban on public fireworks sales after her horse, Rockafella, died from severe injuries believed to be caused by fireworks. The owner, Rugaas, found the horse with deep cuts on its legs, which required euthanasia. This incident has sparked a petition with over 75,000 signatures and support from the SPCA and NZ Veterinary Association for a ban, as well as consideration from the Environment Minister.
