Petition wants firework law change to help animals

The petition said fireworks should only be allowed during a two-week period around Bonfire Night on 5 November.

The organiser of the petition said the fact that fireworks were currently able to be used all year round, makes it hard for pet owners to take care of their animals.

Recently, Deputy Max Andrews said he was going to meet the home affairs minister to discuss the matter.

He added: "Having spoken to several members of the public, it has been evident that the current use of fireworks is causing distress to animals.

"As a result, action has to be taken to reform the governance arrangements around the use and distribution of fireworks to better protect animals."
