Reduce the days of the year that fireworks can be legally let off

As an owner of both dogs and horses I want to reduce the legal amount of days that fireworks, ones that are not considered silent, can be let off by people that are not official or hold an event permit.

Background
I want to hold this petition for reducing the likelihood of loud noise induced anxiety for animal wellbeing, as well as, people who find loud bangs distressing. Loud noises induced anxiety and distress in a wide group of humans and non-human animals. Providing laws around how and when they can be released, allowing scheduled events and specific times of year, reduces this stress significantly. By introducing laws and legislation people can be held accountable for their actions.
