Rejected petition Stop the sale of fireworks to the public.

Stop the sale of fireworks in supermarkets and other shops to any members of the public meaning firework displays are only held in a professional capacity at an organised, safe event.

More details

Fireworks including "quiet" ones terrify animals. Why should we allow something that causes fear in animals?! Not only do they scare animals outside but many pets don't feel safe in their own homes, sometimes for weeks at a time due to the length of time fireworks are put on sale in stores!
