The Issue

As a dedicated canine behaviorist, I have witnessed traumatizing effects of fireworks on many pets. Heartbreakingly, some even lose their lives. As pet lovers and responsible citizens, it's time we stand together and take a decisive step to ban the sales of fireworks. Fireworks, while seen by many as an innocent source of entertainment, are a principal cause of fear, distress and even injury among pets. The explosive noises they create can be distressing to animals, who have far more acute senses than we do. A study by the RSPCA found that over 60% of dogs in the UK show signs of fear when they hear fireworks. It's time to prioritize the welfare of our beloved pets over short-lived entertainment. Already under the animal cruelty act, it is against the law to infect distress or injury. But the government allow explosive on our streets. We need to urge our policy makers to outlaw the sale of fireworks and prevent the needless trauma it causes to our pets. Please sign this petition and make a stand. Protect pets from the unsettling and potential deadly effects of fireworks. Your support can truly save a life. Together we can make a change. It's time for us to act. SAVE YOUR PET.
