Firework noise limit should be drastically cut to protect wild animals, UK government told

Campaigners are urging the UK government to reduce the maximum noise limit for fireworks from 120 to 90 decibels. The Center for Wild Animal Welfare (CWAW) argues this change would protect millions of wild animals from acute stress by limiting the area of disturbance. Meanwhile, some firework displays in Gloucestershire have been cancelled due to concerns regarding the welfare of local wildlife, pets, and livestock, highlighting the ongoing debate over protecting animals from loud celebrations.
