What the petition asks
Firework explosions are producing blind panic in animals that are lead to serious injury, deep-rooted, debilitating fears and death. The explosion of fireworks also releases poisonous chemicals and particle-laden smoke, contaminating our natural environment. A ban on public use will simply not work.
The explosion of a firework which can emit sounds of up to 190 decibels, a full 110 to 115 decibels higher than the 75- to 80-decibel range, where damage to the human ear begins & is proportionately more disturbing to for an animal.
There is an evident need to protect both companion animals and wild animals from fireworks harm, and this need is growing with each passing year. A ban on public use only protects domesticated animals and forget about wildlife.
