Edinburgh Zoo Calls for Fireworks Regulation After Death of Baby Red Panda

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland has linked the death of a three-month-old red panda, Roxie, at Edinburgh Zoo to stress caused by nearby fireworks. Roxie’s tragic passing occurred on Bonfire Night, raising concerns about the impact of fireworks on zoo animals. Officials are urging the Scottish and UK governments to enforce stricter regulations on firework sales, supporting a petition with over one million signatures. While local authorities have the power to designate firework control zones, the broader regulatory changes remain under Westminster’s jurisdiction.
