Because I love animals and want to protect them. Every year there are so many lost and terrified and abused dogs and cats that run away from home during all celebrations like Divali and New Year

I am signing as fireworks cause unnecessary harm and pain to Domestic animals, Wildlife and people with special needs, e.g Autistic, frail, etc. It is totally unnecessary to have to use extreme loud noises to celebrate.

I'm part of an Animal Rescue NPO and we have to deal with the traumatised and injured animals after every firework display.

Thousands of domestic pets and wildlife suffer trauma and death - not acceptable by any standards, not to mention the the impact on the psyche of the aged, babies and people who suffer from war related PTSD.

I hate to see how my pets run and hide under my bed when these crackers and fireworks are going off.
And also when children get hurt when un supervised and playing with fireworks.

Fireworks are traumatizing for all animal species and are not a sacred or significant part of any celebration. It is a purely commercial gimmick that causes untold mental and emotional and physical harm.

I'm signing because fireworks are an unnecessary danger to animals both domestic and wildlife. Too many animals lose their lives, are lost and displaced .
Those individuals who continue to use fireworks should be jailed and given community service in animal shelters etc

The fear and utter chaos that fireworks causes is just heartbreaking and unnecessary. It should be classified as abusive to animals. Even some people with disabilities have adverse effects to them. They are just no good for anyone or anything. Never mind the pollution.

The loss of life is phenomenal and so unnecessary. In rescue, we are picking up injured and dead animals, petrified animals and for what and few moments of human pleasure. These animals do not need to lose their lives to aimless entertainment. The corruption in this country far outweighs the empathy for another living creature.

Fire works should be banned. They bring a lot of tears and heartache, they are dangerous for animals and people. Especially the poor defenseless animals. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!
