A petition urging the government to reduce the maximum permitted noise level of fireworks exceeded 100,000 signatures this afternoon (Monday 3 November). It means the petition, which was set up by Redwings less than two months ago, will be considered for debate in Parliament.The petition asks for the maximum noise level for consumer fireworks to be reduced from 120 to 90 decibels and it is available to sign here.It doesnt stop here. Please do keep signing and sharing as widely as you can so that we can show the Government how widespread support is for making fireworks quieter and safer, said a statement from Redwings today.A huge thank you to everyone who has helped us reach this goal. Lets keep fighting for change together and help make a difference not just for horses, but pets, livestock, wildlife and many people too.Celebrity supportLast week, Your Horse reported that the petition had received the backing of Sir Stephen Fry, as well as other celebrities and top riders.Ive long admired the work of Redwings, and its become something of a tradition for me to support the work of this wonderful charity, said Sir Stephen. I was delighted to offer my voice to their campaign asking for a reduction in the maximum volume of consumerfireworksby signing their petition and I would really encourage everyone to get behind this.Redwings are asking supporters to send the petition link to their local MP and ask them to attend the Fireworks Impact Coalition drop-in event for MPs in Westminster on Wednesday 12 November.Balance is desperately neededThe charity has lost three of its own rescued equine residents in the past as a result of fireworks displays. Despite efforts to keep them safe,Redwings Cinders,Sprite and Percy died in incidents relating tofireworksbeing let off near the sanctuary.We fully appreciate that many people enjoyfireworks, but more balanced regulation is desperately needed, said Helen Whitelegg,Redwings Campaigns and Policy Manager.Research, including our own survey of over 5,000 UK horse owners, supports our belief that reducing the permitted noise levels forfireworkscould help to achieve that balance.View and sign the petition hereMain image ShutterstockRelated contentHorses and fireworks: how to survive the season aheadFireworks petition launched with Bonfire Night fast approachingSomething needs to change: Fireworks report finds horses lack protectionRedwings releases footage of horses distressed by fireworks to highlight issueThe post Fireworks petition to be considered for debate in Parliament after exceeding 100,000 signatures appeared first on Your Horse.
