This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition Ban the sale and use of fireworks to the general public.

Fireworks should only be legal at organised and supervised displays. It is cruel and unfair for our animals to be traumatised so frequently throughout the year. Fireworks have become more and more powerful over the years creating huge and extremely loud explosions.
