Summary
A baby red panda named Roxie at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland died from “stress caused by fireworks” after choking on her vomit, just days after her mother’s sudden death.
The incident, occurring around the U.K.’s Bonfire Night celebrations, has led to renewed calls for stricter fireworks regulations.
A petition with over a million signatures urging restrictions on public fireworks sales was submitted to the U.K. government.
Edinburgh recently implemented limited fireworks control zones, but animal welfare advocates argue for broader measures to prevent similar tragedies.
Has the mother also died from early Fireworks? Since when do fireworks cause vomiting…
For a second I thought this was Reddit with all the armchairing. Holy crap
Stress can cause vomiting, hell it can cause it in humans!
That’s true, but I think the real question here is why the red panda baby was allowed to choke on her own vomit… Not being watched, it seems.
People don’t even watch their own babies 24/7, do you expect them to do it for baby red pandas?
