Only allow silent fireworks to be sold and used
Please ban the use of fireworks that make a noise. Silent fireworks are just as effective but a lot less damaging to children, pets, veterans and older people
Weeks of very loud, unexpected bangs cause huge problems for children with complex needs, older people who don’t understand what’s happening, pets are dying from fear and veterans with ptsd are suffering
