Petition

Ban the sale general of fireworks, restricting use to organised displays only

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Ban sale of fireworks to private individuals and restrict to organised displays only for the benefit of animals, pets and the environment.
Animals are terrified of these loud noises. It's getting worse and worse each year. This affects all animals: pets and wildlife. I do enjoy fireworks, but they are ultimately cruel and unnecessary. Organised displays on set dates are great, but not everyone setting them off at all hours.
