This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Ban the sale and use of Chinese Lanterns
Chinese lanterns cause fires and can seriously injure livestock including horses. They also create litter where they land. They are used year-round for parties and so it is impossible to keep animals indoors safely to avoid risk. They are highly dangerous and need to be banned.
