Ban sale/use of fireworks. allow silent fireworks by events coordinators only

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Only silent fireworks should be sold bought and allowed in any organised event. Only organised events should be allowed to use them. No public persons should be allowed to buy or use fireworks, and used on restricted dates only
We have had enough of seeing our animals scared, or dying as a result of fireworks and the safety issues around them. No animal should be allowed to suffer for something that isn’t even a necessity in our humane society. One animal dying as a result of a lax approach to the sale of, buying of, and using fireworks whenever they wish is one too many
