Ban the sale and use of Chinese Lanterns
Rejected
19 signatures
What the petition asks
Chinese lanterns cause fires and can seriously injure livestock including horses. They also create litter where they land. They are used year-round for parties and so it is impossible to keep animals indoors safely to avoid risk. They are highly dangerous and need to be banned.
