Why this petition matters

Started by Marsha Gay

Many dog owners have come to dread the celebration of our nation's birthday because the setting off of fireworks causes damage to our animals, which are our personal property.  Dogs, horses, and cats have died from heart attacks.  Others have run off never to be seen again.  Even more, we need to take some type of medication to quell the fear that fireworks cause.  

    Fireworks are the only product sold today which, when used, constantly endangers property, causing it to be lost, or damaged, leading to a monetary loss for the victim.   If fireworks constantly caused damages to houses and cars they would be banned.   Why is it not the same for pets and fireworks?

This petition does not seek to stop fireworks that are set off by government agencies or businesses.  Those displays are usually a half-hour long once a year and pet owners can keep their dogs calm for that time.  This past Fourth of July in many cities and towns throughout the country private fireworks went off for days, from dusk until dawn.  The use of fireworks has become too prevalent for the police to control.  As long as people can buy fireworks anywhere in the United States they will fall into the hands of private citizens who will illegally set them off, causing damage to personal property. That is why all firework sales must be banned in the United States.
