Make fireworks only legal on the days of bonfire night and new years
Rejected

What the petition asks
I want this to go ahead and made a law that fireworks can only be used on bonfire night and new years eve into the day (midnight).
Fireworks aren't only traumatic to animals but to humans too. There are people with sensitivities and PTSD that can't bear to see or hear Fireworks because of how traumatising it is for them. It can also kill off animals that are important to our environment e.g. bees, they collect pollen for honey and with Fireworks they can be killed off due to shock. As well as day to day pets that have been in armed forces and kill them dye to the stress it brings to them.
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 the same action: Restrict the use and sale of fireworks to November the 5th and New year's Eve
