Rejected petition Ban the sale of all fireworks to the general public

Stop the sale of fireworks to the general public.

only allow the sale of fireworks to official, competent events organisers for the purpose of fireworks displays to the general public or events.

More details

Every year pets and other animals suffer fear, distress and anxiety caused by fireworks,it’s not just the 5th of November, people consistently let them off on the nights leading up to the 5th and continue to do so for many nights after the 5th.
This surely is a form of animal cruelty and needs to be regulated correctly.

We ask that Fireworks should still be allowed but only be at official displays that are run by and organised correctly by a competent events organiser.
