Poll: Should fireworks be banned?
A Wellington City councillor is calling for a 2 kilometre fireworks exclusion zone near Wellington Zoo.
Last year, the death of an antelope at the zoo was attributed to stress from fireworks.
Wellington City councillor Fleur Fitzsimons said the proposed ban was a matter of safety and wellbeing for zoo animals.
Last November, Auckland councillors Cathy Casey and Fa’anana Efeso Collins presented to a parliamentary select committee asking for a ban on the private sale and use of fireworks.
