More details
silent fireworks instead because pets are terrified over the fireworks and can give pets trauma and if our household pets are this terrified then what about all of the wild animals, not only just the animals but people with autism and other learning disabilities are scared and petrified of loud noises. veterans with ptsd could be triggered by the loudness of fireworks. If we put a stop to loud fireworks and put silent ones in its place we could still have the beauty and “cool” factor of them

Why was this petition rejected?
There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
We understand that you're concerned about the noise caused by fireworks, however we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Fireworks marketed as 'silent' still produce some noise.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, a ban on fireworks or a ban on certain types of fireworks, such as aerial fireworks.
