Ban sale of fireworks for the public to protect our older generation and pets.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to ban supermarkets, independent shops or firework shop to not sell fireworks to produce the public. They should be seen at displays. There are dogs, cats and wife life suffering because of these fireworks. The older generation that have dementia believe they are back in war.
To protect animals and the older people who protected us. Also to stop people from suffering terrible burns or life lasting injuries when they are handled incorrectly.
