Change the rules so fireworks must be silent.

I would like you to create a change so fireworks are either silent or only used in a controlled event. Fireworks must not be set off in gardens and should be lit at a safe distance. People can still enjoy fireworks by going to a show and this gives others the option to avoid fireworks in close cont.

Background

Fireworks are extremely dangerous and bad for the environment. The impact it has on animals is not only cruel but so distressing. Animals often run away from homes, are medicated and in some instances can die from the anxiety that comes with fireworks. Young children and babies also suffer with anxiety from the unnecessary loud bangs. People who are isolated feel even more scared when they hear these noises and it could potentially set off ptsd for soldiers. The noise needs to stop.
