Petition · past parliament

Ban the production of loud explosive fireworks.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

My little terrier is absolutely terrified of fireworks that bang. Around Bonfire Night (which quite often now extends for 2 weeks) he barks constantly and shakes. Not only is this very distressing to witness but it causes a nuisance to my neighbours.
If firework production could be limited to the Roman Candle type without bangs it would be better for everyone.

Why it was rejected

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

Make sure fireworks are silent to reduce stress to pets and wildlife
