Rejected petition Ban sky lanterns from the uk

Sky lanterns need to be banned from the uk. Every year we have needless fires, and livestock killed and maimed by these floating fires! To boot each year they fall into fields, get chopped up in harvesters and end up in cattle feeds. These contain sharp wires which cause internal bleeding, and kill!
