Name: TOM GORE on Oct 3, 2010Comments: THESE blessed things are a scourge to town and countryside alike. I`ve seen them in windy conditions, fire the canvas and come down with the flame still burning. If that happened and it dropped into dry grass or grain, Kaboom. They get trapped in trees or drop to the ground producing litter that can take years (I would think) to break down. They are legalised litter. Best of luck getting them banned.Flag

Name: Sarah Joseph on Oct 3, 2010Comments: Chinese lanterns are hazardous to livestock if they land on the fields that they graze or in the crops that are harvested to feed them. If still alight when they land, Chinese lanterns can set fire to the landscape, putting man, animals and vegetation at risk. Please support this petition and help to ban these nuisance lanterns.Flag

Name: Nigel Cocking on Oct 4, 2010Comments: Fire is by definition dangererous and to have these random sources of ignition dropping out of our skies on to who knows what (REMEMBER BRUNSFIELD). I AM ALSO SHOCKED THAT THE CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY HAVE NOT TOOK ANY ACTION TO BAN THESE POTENTIAL AIRLINE DISASTER TIME BOMBS FLOATING AROUND THE SKIES. THEY SOON GROUNDED AIRCRAFT WHEN THE VOLCANO WENT OFF BECAUSE OF SMALL PARTICLES OF DUST. i live in derby and aircraft take off from castle donnington and pass very low over us, i have seen these lanterns higher than the aircraft passing over us i am sure the wire in these lanterns would cause damage to the aircraft engines. BAN THEM NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.Flag

Name: Janet Weston on Oct 6, 2010Comments: After finding one which had burnt a patch in a very parched field next to a number of horses, I was amazed to find the whole structure was made of wire like coat hanger wire. Perfect for getting wrapped around a horse, cattle, sheep, etc leg let alone getting caught up in expensive farm machinery.Flag
