Ban the use of noisy fireworks. No noise fireworks give the same visual display.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Silent fireworks are available. Please, for the health of all animals, both domestic and wild, ban the use of fireworks that make noises.
I would like parliament to ban fireworks that make noises. The stress that noisy fireworks cause all animals is cruel. Fireworks are available that still give a fantastic visual display but don't have the noise.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: Review and reduce the decibel limit on fireworks sold to the public

While some fireworks are marketed as silent, these still make some noise. If you would like the Government to reduce the decibel limit to a specific level, you could start a new petition requesting this.

We have also published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Limit the Sale and Use of Fireworks to Organisers of Licensed Displays Only: Limit the Sale and Use of Fireworks to Organisers of Licensed Displays Only

Ban the use of all fireworks in order to reduce air and noise pollution: Ban the use of all fireworks in order to reduce air and noise pollution.
