What the petition asks

Noisy fireworks have become a dread for so many people, also wild life, and family pets are suffering.
Youths are setting them off in bins and places close to houses making the bangs louder.
We dread this time of year in the uk.
Old age pensioners are terrified some have PTSD
Pets are having to be sedated and wildlife is being killed on roads by running away in fear.
We want silent fireworks at displays too.
These fireworks have become a dread as they are happening throughout the year not just 5th November.
