A baby red panda has died due to "stress caused by fireworks" after choking on her own vomit just five days after her mother died, according to an animal rights group, leading to calls for tighter restrictions on the public sale of fireworks.
A baby red panda has died due to"stress caused by fireworks" after choking on her own vomit just five days after her mother died, according to an animal rights group."Roxie had recently lost her mum Ginger but was responding well to specialist care from our expert team and was feeding independently. Very sadly, she choked on her vomit on bonfire night and our vets believe this was probably a reaction to fireworks," said deputy chief executive of RZSS, Ben Supple.
In the aftermath of Roxie's death, a public petition calling for tighter restrictions on the use of fireworks -- signed by more than a million people -- was delivered to the U.K. government last week, RZSS said. In August, Edinburgh became the first Scottish area to ban the use of fireworks in certain parts of the city around Bonfire Night in August, with control zones running from Nov. 1 to 10, meaning anyone igniting private fireworks displays could be criminally charged.
