Background
Fireworks cause significant and lasting harm to both humans and animals
Every year, thousands of people suffer injuries as a direct result of fireworks. Emergency departments and fire services are stretched unnecessarily
Animals, both domestic & wild, experience severe distress leading to some abandoning young, their habitats & shock so severe it causes death.
People living with PTSD, autism, anxiety, etc often endure heightened stress & trauma due to the unpredictable & prolonged noise.
