Rejected petition We want you to ban fireworks for public use.

More and more people are buying fireworks and not using them responsibly. The public use of fireworks should be banned. These should only be available for large organised events with a licence. There should also be high penalties in place for people who ignore this. Stop fireworks for public use!

More details

In 2010 alone the BHS reported 20 horse deaths, 10 severe injuries and 88 mild injury cases. These figures have risen since and affect all animals. People do not use these responsibly and these should be removed from public sale and if people decide to ignore then high penalties put in place. This has to stop. Innocent animals are being scared to death. Being injured so badly they have no choice than to put to sleep. These need to be banned immediately from public sale and penalties in place.
