Sammanfattning

The use of fireworks is debated from an animal welfare perspective. However, a comprehensive overview of how fireworks affect the welfare of different animal species and how fireworks legislation influences animal protection is lacking. The Swedish Centre for Animal Welfare (SCAW), Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), was therefore commissioned by the Swedish Association for the Protection of Animals (Svenska Djurskyddsföreningen) to review the current scientific literature and legislation in this area. More specifically, this report aims to compile the literature and scientific knowledge regarding the effects of fireworks on the welfare of various animal species; map the legislation on fireworks in Sweden, in selected EU member states, and at EU level; identify potential knowledge gaps and further research; and propose recommendations on the use of fireworks, considering animal welfare and legislation.
