Background

I would like to request to ban the sale of fireworks to the general public

Additional details

Public Safety: Fireworks pose significant risks to public safety. Each year, thousands of injuries are reported, many of which are severe. The dangers extend beyond users to innocent bystanders, including children and the elderly. Animal Welfare: Fireworks cause extreme distress to pets and wildlife. The loud noises and bright flashes can lead to panic, injuries, and even death in animals. Many pets flee their homes in terror, leading to tragic outcomes.
