I used to have to walk my terrified dog 2 miles out of our village as a child to save her from the awful racket

There is no need to put entertainment for people ahead of animal welfare.

Fireworks are a deadly torture for wildlife and domestic animals and cause untold trauma as well as loss of life and damage to property, an unnecessary evil.

The distress fireworks cause for countless domesticated and wild animals each year is horrendous. Nocturnal animals often are unable to feed during this period.

It's time we, the human race, grew up and start being responsible for our actions.
We know fireworks cause so much stress and sometimes death to animals including wild ones, not to mention the affect it they have on the environment...and yet ...places such as this are chosen to have a large display regardless of the animals in the surrounding area!
You could of course have SILENT ones..bit I'm guessing you wouldn't find that fun would you?
What is the celebration for?
Celebrating people who wanted to blow up parliament...!

Fireworks are noisy and dangerous to both animals as well as humans.

It is completely inappropriate for the proposed fireworks to take place in such an area & it should be moved to a more suitable venue urgently. Given COVID-19 I really don’t thing firework displays should be taking place currently as the emergency services are needed elsewhere.

I think fireworks have had their day...we all understand the downside of these displays (and could fireworks of the future be bang free?)...it is inexcusable to cause death, injury and terror to both animals and wildlife. Many people feel deep apprehension when the firework ‘season’ starts ...in fact, it goes on all year now. At a time like this, it is the last thing we should be doing: letting hard won funds or personal resources go up in smoke!

I care about the animals!

I know how distressed animals are by fireworks

I’m signing because my dogs is terrified of fireworks and there should be a limit on when and how long they can be used. People set off fireworks at any time they like, spread over a number of weeks, around this time of year and I have to help my dog recover from unnecessary noise. It’s terrible for animals in fields or in the wild too. It’s so unfair.

Animals and people can and do suffer from the effects of loud and very loud fireworks. Animals especially even from a distance. It's a great pity that I am struggling with persons on West Mersea to acknowledge this fact.

Dec Jarvis (West Mersea, 2020-10-25)

Domestic livestock, pets and wild animals need to be given proper consideration and protection from unnecessary distress when planning for fireworks displays.

Lorna Syme (Aberdeen, 2020-10-25)

I have seen animals terrified by fireworks. They should not be set off near stables , farms or residential housing. Please rearrange this event well away from vulnerable animals and people. Thank you

Firework displays are far too noisy and frightening for most animals.

Fireworks should be regulated , they can hurt , kill , & mame . Yes they are a part of our celebratory freedom . Only in the wrong hand's they can be deadly . Stop The Cruelty!!!

Too many animals are mentally and physically harmed by insensitively planned firework events which should not run on multiple nights if they are deemed to go ahead once abiding stricter fireworks rules/legislation which would also protect the needless accidents to inexperienced people.

Louise Lury (Ilminster, 2020-10-26)

There are animals in fields in surrounding areas

Hayleigh Hammond (Manningtree, 2020-10-27)

I totally abhor the use of fireworks as a
mean of celebration or anything else.
It is incredibly selfish, uncivilized, unnecessary disruption to a peaceful environment. Good luck with the petition

I'm worried about the wildlife and domestic animals + pollution fireworks cause.

I’m signing as I’m an animal lover and am suck of reading or hearing about the pain and suffering fireworks cause to innocent animals.
SILENT FIREWORKS are the way to go, many countries use them, we can then all enjoy them, including animals domestic and wild, that way there are no 💔

Gill Brown (Brechin, 2020-10-27)

I care more about a animals' wellbeing than fireworks, even though I love watching them.

Fireworks cause fear and distress in animals which is completely avoidable

Charlotte Howe (Darlington, 2020-10-27)

Animals should not be subjected to this kind of fear educin g noise

I feel wildlife definitely needs our protection from fireworks.

Alison Blakeley (Stockton-on-Tees, 2020-10-28)

#5313

Fireworks should be banned in my opinion. They terrify animals and some people. If they are to be used then it should not be in a location where there are animals. All fireworks should be silent and should only be used for public displays and only by people who are trained to use them and who are certifified to do so.

Francine Quinn (Blackpool, 2020-10-28)

I hate to think of suffering animals that don't understand

Sam Hayward (Barnham, 2020-10-28)

A few hours of 'entertainment' at The Wheeley Car Boot Site through holding a fireworks display causes unjustifiable distress and even death to other living beings nearby - both animal and human. It's time for a more caring and informed attitude to be adopted by the organisers. Please cancel this venue or even better, cancel such displays altogether. Thank you.

It doesnt matter where it is, fireworks have to be controlled. Events should be organised on one day only, advertised so that people like me with frightened dogs know when it is and the noise level should be reduced as fireworks are far too loud. Also not sold to individuals only organised displays. Im sick of having to deal with a dog that is so frightened that he tries to dig himself through the floor and knocks over furniture in an attempt to escape. He can be dosed with diazepam if I know when it is, but they dont just go off on the night itself, it is all the time. Two consecutive nights as in the Weeley fireworks is unecessary and not fair to animal owners or frightened elderly or children. Give it a rest! Join the national campaign to get it regulated.

The proposed firework display will inflict an intolerable amount of suffering on the animals and community nearby.

Thoughtless cruelty so close to these poor animals.

Patricia Morris (Elmstead, 2020-10-29)

i am very worried about the effect the stress has on all animals the firework season gets longer every year and the noise is of an unacceptable level with some of the privately sold ones

Fireworks cause too much damage to the environment and the health & well-being of so many animals, companion and livestock, as well as potential damage to buildings

I am signing because I believe fireworks should only be used as a public event and well away from any houses and farms with livestock

I feel very strongly about idiots letting off fireworks weeks before guy fawkes my dog is terrified of bangs and that's all they are is bangs ,if they want to hear loud bangs they should join the army.

As a pet owner I am fully aware of the effect that fireworks have on animals. It is heartbreaking to see my dog and cat terrified and shaking uncontrollably. The firework season goes on longer and longer and many evenings are spent comforting and calming our pets. I feel extremely sorry for animals that are outside. Its time to stop the individual use of fireworks and keep them to displays.

Fireworks are a sensory nightmare for me and make me very jumpy and they are frightening for animals and people with ptsd too.

Emma King (Crawley, 2020-11-10)

There is too much activity on rural land and the distinction between rural and urban is becoming blurred to the detriment of people's livlihoods, for animals and for wildlife.

Maria Bagnoli (Reading, 2020-11-14)

I'm signing because I have relatives living in Colchester.

David Mills (Hull, 2020-11-17)

#5376

We have urged the government for total ban on fireworks over several years, our pleas seem to end on deaf ears, fireworks cause immense suffering for our animals, many animals die of fright, children have no concept of the danger the fireworks cause despite the fact it is illegal to sell them to children, children are seen messing about with these deadly fireworks, why is the government so adamant not to stop the sale or is it the revenue the government profits.

Annah Jetha (London, 2020-11-27)

Fireworks, not only do they frighten and petrify our animals they have a very bad reaction on humans too. I have never liked them. To summarize, animals, humans and the ozone layer will thank you for at least holding one festive firework party in a grouped controlled park. Please listen to our pleas I am not signing this just because I can, I strongly think these should be banned altogether.
