Forward our short animation onto your friends and family to remind them to think about animals before firework season goes off with a bang!
Fireworks can be enjoyable to watch for humans but every year hundreds of animals suffer stress, anxiety and distress whilst fireworks are going off.
The current legislation states that only certain fireworks can be sold to the public and only at certain times of the year (e.g. New Years Eve, Bonfire night, Chinese New Year). There is a maximum noise limit placed on these fireworks and no persons under 18 can be sold the fireworks.
Although the RSPCA welcomed the Firework Act 2003 and Firework Regulations 2004, we don't feel they are being enforced properly to protect the welfare of animals.
