Rejected petition: Require Silent or Low-Noise Fireworks to Protect Animals and Vulnerable People
I want the Government to require all public firework displays use silent or low-noise fireworks. Loud fireworks cause harm to pets, wildlife, young children, and people with PTSD or sensory issues. Please require low-noise displays, review sales of loud fireworks, and promote quieter alternatives.

The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) has become an embarrassment to the name British, they have lost the support of the people that pay for a Biases, Bogus and Corrupt TV broadcaster. The fair resolution would be for it to become a commercial funded broadcasting company!
