Petition Action

Make the use of fire works for permitted events only.

Petition Details

Ban the sale of fireworks in shops to general public. People should apply for a licence to run an organised event away from animals and built up areas.

Additional Information

So many animals and people really struggle with the bangs from bonfire night. I myself have many animals which really struggle with the loud bangs. Several animals each year die or go missing due to the trauma caused by fireworks. People with PTSD or mental illness really struggle with flashbacks and trauma caused by fireworks.
