Ban fireworks

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

For fireworks to be completely banned. They are dangerous, cause death and distress to animals. They scare vulnerable people.
I want fireworks to completely banned as they have caused so many deaths of innocent animals, scared animals who have had heart attacks from the loud bangs, they scare vulnerable people in their homes. Scare babies, children and elderly. Fireworks are clearly dangerous to humans and animal welfare. Why allow something like that to be available to the public? Time the government took action.
