Ban fireworks that bang, they frighten pets, wildlife and are noise pollution.
Ban the production and sale of fireworks that go bang.
Anyone with a cat or dog knows that loud fireworks are frightening to their pets. Loud fireworks frighten wildlife. Loud fireworks are noise pollution to people trying to lead a peaceful life. Why should we have to put up with the noise so some people can enjoy making as much noise as they can? Firework bangs seem to get louder each year and people seem to be letting off fireworks weeks before November 5th and weeks afterward.
