It’s Time to End Fireworks
Every year, fireworks cause fear and trauma to the most vulnerable among us — our pets, wildlife, and people who live with trauma or sensory sensitivities.
The lead to up to there are major firework displays:
Alexandra Palace Fireworks and Drone Festival (London, N22)
Lewes Bonfire Celebrations (Lewes, East Sussex)
Sparks in the Park (Cardiff, Wales)
Bonfire & Fireworks at Gisburne Park Estate (Gisburn, Clitheroe, Lancashire)
Wembley, Brent and Harrow Fireworks Display 8/11/25

Its not only 5th November. Festivals like Diwali and up until Christmas fireworks are let off sold in the shops.
Fireworks Terrify Animals
Fireworks Terrify Animals
The loud, unpredictable explosions of fireworks trigger intense fear in animals:
Pets often panic and flee; shelters report huge spikes in lost dogs and cats after major holidays.
Wildlife abandon nests and habitats, disoriented by the noise and flashes.
Farm animals can injure themselves in fear, leading to lasting harm or death.
No celebration is worth the terror it causes to innocent creatures.
Firework Terrify People
The impact of fireworks on people goes far beyond inconvenience:
Forces and trauma survivors may experience panic attacks or flashbacks.
Autistic individuals and children often suffer sensory overload from the unpredictable noise.
Accidents and injuries are common — burns, fires, and hearing loss happen every year.
Loud celebrations should never come at the cost of someone’s safety or mental well-being.
Firework Pollute the Planet
What goes up must come down — and fireworks leave behind a trail of pollution:
Toxic metals and chemicals contaminate our air, soil, and waterways.
Smoke and debris worsen respiratory conditions like asthma.
Animals sometimes ingest firework waste, leading to poisoning or death.
Our environment deserves better than one night of toxic spectacle..
