As of 2019, the majority of people in the Netherlands who did not purchase fireworks the previous New Year's Eve, or never purchased fireworks made this decision for safety reasons. Over 25 percent of respondents indicated that they thought lighting fireworks was, or had become, too dangerous. Meanwhile approximately 13 percent of respondents who never purchased fireworks did this out of concern for animals and pets.
