Fireworks cause stress and anxiety in animals. Did you know that 66% of animals are negatively impacted by private firework displays, and 40% of pet owners feel awkward discussing their fireworks concerns with their neighbours?
As the MP for #Preston, I am passionate about the health and welfare of animals in the area, and this can be massively impacted during fireworks season. Make sure you think of animals and their owners in your community. If you’re holding a private fireworks display, make sure to give neighbours enough time to prepare.
You could also consider attending an organised public display where possible, or consider using either low-noise fireworks or have a silent display e.g. with glow sticks or LED lanterns.
