Background
Fireworks cause distress and injury to animals, wildlife, and people with sensory sensitivities. They can trigger anxiety and trauma, and recently a baby in Wales lost their life after a dog was startled by fireworks. Restricting use to licensed displays would protect animals and public safety.
