Ban all fireworks apart from special days, sales to pyrotechnic experts

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Animals suffer with use of fireworks sold to children, animals wild and domesticated, dogs shake and skurry to their owners
Kids are also putting themselves at risk and are in danger of serious burns, fireworks from the beginning of the summer school holidays to the new year and beyond
I would respectfully request the home secretary priti Patel would enshrine in law a licencing system for pyrotechnic experts only
Make it a criminal offence a) to sell fireworks to Unlicensed individual persons
b) also make it a criminal offence to purchase and or use pyrotechnics if Unlicensed
Please we all love our animals let's make it a safe envoirement to live in
