What the petition asks
Change the law so that we can no longer buy non-silent fireworks, sell them or use them.
Animals can be terrified of loud fireworks, there have been reports of some dying from heart attacks. Veterans with PTSD can suffer so much this time of year as it can trigger them. They do not deserve this and we should do everything that we can to support them and protect them from this trauma.
Wildlife are harmed because of the loud bangs and litter.
