What the petition asks
They are causing those suffering from PTSD a great deal of stress and mental anguish. They are causing animals a great deal of stress and mental anguish too.They are being used by unruly elements to attack the Emergency Services. It's vital you listen to the crippling effects caused by fireworks.
It has been largely reported on the news how this year the police came under attack by fireworks, how ex-servicemen are tormented by flashbacks of war when fireworks are being set off in public. Suffering that needs to stop.
