What the petition asks

FIREWORKS SCARE ANIMALS TO DEATH
The Shetland Pony Welfare Trust is a small Registered Charity and has for a number of years been suffering from the effects of Fireworks being set off only a few yards from its sanctuary, of rescued horses and ponies.
Thousands of pet owners have similar issues
All animals can be effected by fireworks and in some cases these can be devastating for owners and there pets
We call upon the Secretary of state to secure that the risk of public use of fireworks is minimal and that only licenced venues can hold displays.
A regulatory distance to be put in place for proximity of animals/buildings to the event
