Ban the sale of noisy fireworks to the public and keep for organised displays
Ban the sale of noisy fireworks to the general public, and keep them only for organised displays but allow the sale of silent/lower noise fireworks to the public.
Every year thousands of households let fireworks off, and every year the nation becomes divided between people who have pets and people who don’t. Banning the sale of noisy fireworks to the general public allows households to still let off silent fireworks and enjoy the celebrations but also stops the unnecessary stress, harm, and death that it brings to pets, wildlife, and also people coping with things such as PTSD.
Only allow organised displays to have noisy fireworks.
