I have been a resident of North Carolina for 7 years and July 4th has become the worst holiday.  Animals, humans, livestock, etc, suffer and some have died because of fireworks.  I am petitioning the state of North Carolina to ban all fireworks, both personal and professional.  Something has to be done to protect those that suffer with PTSD, babies, and of course the defenseless animals.  Please sign thia petition to put an end to fireworks across the state of North Carolina.
