Fireworks survey

Complete our impact reporting survey to share your story — whether it’s your pet’s reaction, your own story, or your community’s concerns. Personal stories have the power to make a real difference. Help us demonstrate why the law needs to change.

By completing this form you're not reporting an incident that we can respond to. To report cruelty, neglect or have seen an animal in urgent need, call 0300 1234 999.

Please provide the first four characters of your postcode:

Please choose what type of firework event you believe caused the problem:*

If other, please specify:

How were you warned?*

What type of animals did the incident involve (e.g. cat, dog, rabbits, horses)?*

If other, please specify:

Was this incident captured on video?*

Have you sought vet intervention for your animals?*

Have you sought behavioural intervention for your animals?*

Did you listen to pet classics or utilise classical pet sounds on streaming platforms during the fireworks season to help lessen the impact?*

If Yes: Did listening to this music appear to help calm your animal during the fireworks incident? Please describe any observed effects or changes in your animal's behaviour while the music was playing.

Would you be happy to be contacted by us about your experience?*

If you're happy to be contacted, please provide relevant contact details below (excluding email as we'll ask for this at the submission step next):

Please tick this box to receive our emails about animal welfare campaigning, rescue stories, news of the work we do and appeals (by ticking this box you confirm you're 18 or over).*

The information you share within this form will be stored securely on a password protected web application. The partial postcode data you provide will be used to map and monitor firework incidents impacting animal welfare across England and Wales.

We will also monitor this data to understand as best we are able the actions taken by residents to report incidents. Hotspot locations and numerical statistics may be shared with local authorities or organisations responsible for the regulation of fireworks (BEIS) to inform local and national policy.

Any case studies provided with consent to contact will not be used without your express permission and sign off and if used could be shared in the media, print press on television and in RSPCA campaign communications.

All information shared with the RSPCA will be kept throughout the lifecycle of the #BangOutOfOrder campaign and then remain on files thereafter should you wish to access those records. Please do not complete this survey if you are under 16 years of age and ask a parent or guardian to submit your report on your behalf.
