Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only - 194,630 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 196,219 - 69 added in the past 24hrs)

The Government responsed to this petition on 13th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The use of animals for development of products for human use remains necessary. The Government therefore does not agree to end testing on dogs and other animals for testing and research purposes.
