Rejected petition Make noisy fireworks illegal
Make loud fireworks either illegal or hard to find so silent ones are used as an alternative for the benefits of the people with PTSD, the elderly, animals and wildlife
Silent fireworks would not take away from people’s enjoyment but may massively impact the people that struggle
More details
Animals and wildlife can be truly traumatised by the loud bangs from fireworks, my own pets included. It is heartbreaking to see first hand how terrified they are in their own home.
Silent fireworks would also allow people to still enjoy them. I’m sure no one feels like the noise from a firework is the reason they set them off?
