Replace traditionally loud fireworks with silent ones

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The reason for this is because the normally used fireworks are extremely frightening for many household pets as well as outside animals. I wouldn’t want to see the end of the tradition of Bonfire parties and firework displays, but to change the event to something to be enjoyed by all.

Why it was rejected

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

Change the laws for fireworks only to use silent fireworks.
