Rejected petition Ban the production of fireworks with noise - a bang or also known as "report"
Thousands are coming to fear the time of year when fireworks shake the foundations of our homes. Pets spend the whole evening quivering, shaking, hiding - some are even dying! This is pure fear!
Let's keep up with the times and adapt to the needs of our fury friends!
More details
As a child, I loved watching the fireworks. The colours, the patterns. Did I go and watch them for the sound they make? Absolutely not. I am petitioning to try and ban the loud unnecessary bang fireworks make. It is unrealistic to think they will be banned completely, and I do not want to take away the fun from families with small children. They should be a part of it like I once was. For those that don't have animals or pets, they may not understand the fear! Keep your lights! Ditch the sound!!
