What the petition asks
Loud Fireworks can cause anxiety and distress to Animals, Elderly, Vunerable and Veterans. Fireworks are allowed to be 120 decibels, equivalent to a jet aircraft taking off. We want this reduced to 97 decibels, equivalent to a car door slamming, and only allowing anything above at public displays
Animals: Many animals find the noise from Fireworks scary. They become confused and panic.Many fleeing away from the noise causing injury to themselves.
Elderly: Are frequently scared and intimidated by Firework noises causing anxiety and distress.
The Vunerable: I.E Autistic Children can find the loud bangs distressing and frightening and incredibly overwhelming
Dementia Sufferers: Can become distressed and agitated causing heightened Anxiety and Stress.
War Veterans: Can effect ones with PTSD
