What the petition asks
Ban fireworks from being sold in shops and only have fireworks at events.
People do not realise how fireworks effects many people and animals. Many people gets PYSD from fireworks and it effects their mental health. Dog and cats become very unsettled and uncontrollable and sometimes leads to death as they become so nervous or run away. The wildlife become scared and have no safe place. Humans use fireworks as a weapon to let them off at peoples cars, houses and at their body.
