UK considers noise limits on fireworks after 52K-signature petition over pet distress.
The UK government has acknowledged growing public concern over loud consumer fireworks ahead of Bonfire Night, following a petition with over 52,000 signatures calling for noise limits reduced from 120 to 90 decibels.
Animal welfare groups, including the RSPCA, warn that loud fireworks cause severe distress to pets and wildlife, contributing to anxiety, injuries, and missing animals.
While no ban has been enacted, officials recognize the issue and are reviewing potential changes, emphasizing responsible use and existing quieter alternatives.
The petition’s momentum may lead to a parliamentary debate if it reaches 100,000 signatures.
