During the recent fire that occurred at Krefeld Zoo, where inhabitants died due to a fire that was potentially started by a wandering sky lantern. It is time that suppliers of this product take it upon themselves to stop selling them!

Already we have seen so many images on social media platforms of burnt and maimed livestock and wildlife, causing unnecessary suffering and even death! All down to a product that creates a temporary feeling of celebration but more often than not ends in long term suffering! 

Big suppliers such as Amazon and eBay sell lanterns for around £10.00 onwards! These companies pride themselves on their easy accessibility of products and fast delivery, which means hundreds of these fire hazards can be supplied to the general public throughout the year and become more popular during festive seasons.

For those that care about animals and the environment, stop buying them. For those that don't, access to this dangerous product should be limited!
