The fireworks this year petrified my animals. I have two dogs and a cat. They are loud and dangerous in residential settings. They should be in an organised displays.
There are people with auditory sensitivity through having autism or PTSD. What may seem fun for others can greatly impact the community.
Georgia supported: Implement Strict Regulations on Fireworks UsageThe noise is extremely loud and frightens my rescue cats. The loud bangs continue for a week or more. Very distressing for animals whether pets or wildlife
Sandra supported: Implement Strict Regulations on Fireworks UsageSadly this year has been the worst for anti-social behaviour, with fireworks being set off during the day near horses and dog park as well as thrown at passing cars and young families trick or treating . Dog owners can’t even walk their dogs during the day and no one is policing it 😡
Helen supported: Limit Firework Sales to Organised Events for Animal and Human SafetyAside from the obvious reasons why they're hazardous to both animals and people, the fireworks available to the public are absolute rubbish to begin with. There are plenty of fireworks displays across the country and they're easy to attend.
It's more of an event to go somewhere with friends and family, make some memories and join others who enjoy a display.
Stopping the public from purchasing fireworks will not only hugely reduce the amount of dogs affected, but it will also stop kids (and some adults who should know better) from being morons and setting them off in the streets. You always see empty casings scattered around in parks too.
Removing them from shops will really help those poor pups who have strong negative reactions to loud noises.
Dogs have emotions, same as children. You wouldn't force a child to endure fireworks, if they didn't enjoy them. So why would you do the same to animals who feel things?
It's about time people started thinking beyond themselves.
Kevin supported: Prohibit the Sale of Fireworks to the General PublicThe distress fireworks cause to animals is terrible and they go on for weeks. My dog almost passes out when she hears them .Shaking and panting she is in such distress. Please sign the petition, you could make such a difference to animals.
Louise supported: Ban the sale/possession of all non-silent fireworks to the general publicYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
