Stop the sell of fireworks to the general public!

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

To stop unorganised firework displays, it’s a cruel torture against animals that can easily be avoided. Too many animals have lost their life to irresponsible humans setting off fireworks close to their home and fields of livestock.
Fireworks are a dangerous weapon that anyone can buy over the age of 18 without any prior knowledge to their use or impact.
We need to encourage protection of our animals and wildlife by creating a law that fireworks are only allowed at organised displays on the night of the 5 November!
Too many animals are losing their lives and being unnecessarily scared because of an act that can easily be stopped, that can be controlled to one night a year.
