Ban Fireworks except official displays

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

More and more people are setting off fireworks in their back gardens without thinking of the impact on wildlife and people's pets. This year our dogs and many others have been badly affected by fireworks not to mention other wildlife. There is no need when there are organised displays

This year one of our dogs spent 4 hrs on 3 consecutive nights shaking constantly & was so scared she managed to slip a disc in her neck and lost the full use of her front legs. She is recovering but why do our pets and other animal need to go through this
It's not just on Nov 5th but weeks before and after and people are irresponsible and don't think of the impact of what they are doing. More people going to official displays will make more money for local groups and save animals from the fear

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

We already have three petitions on the subject of restricting the sale of fireworks:

Restrict the use of fireworks to reduce stress and fear in animals and pets

Ban the sale of fireworks to the public and introduce a licensing system

Make the purchase, possession and use of fireworks illegal without a licence.
