What the petition asks
Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public.
They cause too much stress to humans suffering with PTSD and for animals who don’t know what’s going on.
They cause too much stress to humans suffering with PTSD and for animals who don’t know what’s going on.
Fireworks not only cause stress to wildlife but to those suffering from PTSD from war experience, which we should have more respect for those who fight for our country but also to our animals.
Dogs get so stressed out during “firework season” where people let them off at all hours, every day and it’s not fair.
