Rejected petition Ban Chinese Sky Lanterns

More details

The sale and use of Chinese Sky Lanterns in the UK needs to be stopped and banned.
They have caused fires to buildings and crops. Their burnt out remains have caused death and injuries to livestock and wildlife. In the night sky they have been mistaken for flares and UFO's therefore wasting the valuable time of our coastguards and police.
They have been banned in other countries we need the same.
