Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public in the UK
Responsible department: Department for Business, Innovation and Skills
It's my birthday weekend. Am I out celebrating?
No, I'm at home comforting my terrified dogs.
Fireworks have been going off in my neighborhood non-stop for three hours.
The 5th of November is 4 days away, fireworks started a week ago & they're likely to continue beyond the night they're intended for.
Then there's New Year.
The stress fireworks cause many pets and their owners is immense. As a dog trainer I see first hand the overall impact fireworks have on animal behaviour with associated problem behaviours sometimes being seen for months after the fireworks have stopped.
There are about 17 million pets in the UK (Figures from 2013), 25% of British homes owns a pet.
Pet owner point of view aside, there is human safety to consider.
It seems crazy that anyone deemed old enough can buy an explosive and let it off in any open space.
Canada, South Africa and Australia have limitations or bans on private firework displays and the UK needs to follow suit.
