Rejected petition Ban the sale of all non silent fireworks

Across the country, millions of pets and wildlife suffer horrific stress as unnecessary bangs from fireworks fill the skies between October and January.
The sounds and bangs accompanying fireworks are completely unwarranted should be banned. All fireworks should be silent for the safety of animals

More details

Millions of animals and pets are traumatised from the loud bangs, suffering breathing difficulties, panic attacks, and worse. This year alone, many dogs have bolted from their safe environments after hearing bangs and been killed on busy roads. In one particular circumstance, a dog suffered a stroke as a result of the fireworks and had to be put down. See link below.

For the safety and sanity of wildlife and pets, make fireworks silent.
