BAN THE SALE OF NOISY FIREWORKS.

  • by: Roy Allen
  • recipient: GOVERMENT AND HEALTH AND SAFETY AUTHORITIES

The  use  of  fireworksof the type  containing  bangers  is totally  unacceptable.

Surely  no  normal person derives pleasure  from  terrific bangs .If  any other  appliance  made  a fraction of the noise  these fireworks  it would  be classed as an offence.

Noise from these explosives [and that is what they are]  causes  terror  in both  domestic and farm animals  ,also many elderly  people are traumatised  when these  are  let  off in their  vicinity.   If people  want a firework display   can they not  be  satisfied with a colourful display  which would not   disturb  anyone.

Apart from the noise aspect  there is great  danger from accidents  and  fires , every year  dozens of people  suffer  burns  and other injuries  ,but it seems that the  fire services and the Health And Safety  authorities  are willing to accept  these risks.

But the main reason for this petition is to get  the  bangers  made illegal ,even the organisers  of  big  displays    on November 5th  seem to   find it neccessary to  make  these  awful bangs  regardless of the  suffering they cause  .  Many  pets  are lost  or injured  each  year  around this time .  So  it should  be stopped.
