ANY FIREWORKS THAT SHOOT UP INTO THE SKY OR MAKE A LOUD NOISE ARE ILLEGAL IN PA WITHOUT A PERMIT.
IN SPITE OF THAT, THESE ILLEGAL FIREWORKS ARE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD IN PA. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE (MOSTLY CHIDREN) ARE INJURED EVERY YEAR BECAUSE OF FIREWORKS. LET'S LEAVE THEM TO THE PROFESSIONALS, AND STOP THE EXPLOSIONS THAT DISTURB THE PEACE. ALL OF THE DOGS IN THE STATE WILL ALSO BE VERY GRATEFUL. ASKING OUR PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE TO BAN THESE SALES. https://www.petitions.net/ban_the_sale_of_fireworks_in_pennsylvania

This petition is to help ban personal fireworks in PA. They are dangerous and can cause harm to both people and animals from injuries and mental distress. Most people know this and are against the sale of fireworks for personal use. We must act now letting our politicians know that the people of Pennsylvania are against the sale of personal fireworks and want a ban on them now.
Have you ever personally experienced seeing a dog who is so panicked by fireworks that they try to scratch their way through a wall or crouch trembling in the corner or under furniture when neighbors deploy these explosives? Have you seen animals that are in such fear that they soil themselves or in some cases, panic and harm themselves by running out into roads or through fences? Some animals become so fearful of noise after these experiences that they require euthanasia....
In 2017 allowable purchase of Class C fireworks by private citizens suddenly became law in Pennsylvania through a non relevant addition to a state tax bill. https://www.change.org/p/pennsylvania-state-house-stop-terrorizing-pets-with-fireworks?use_react=false House Bill 542 was signed into law on October 30, 2017. Under the new law, the Fireworks Act of 1939 was repealed and replaced in its entirety.
2017 Act 43 law allows Pennsylvanians to legally buy and light fireworks that shoot into the air such as roman candles, bottle rockets, and other devices that fly into the air. https://www.thepetitionsite.com/508/497/203/strengthen-the-firework-laws-in-pennsylvania./ |
