Officials at the Edinburgh Zoo want lawmakers to ban pyrotechnics after concluding that they caused 3-month-old Roxie’s stress-induced vomiting.

The recent death of a red panda kit at Edinburgh Zoo has prompted fresh calls for tighter restrictions on fireworks in the UK, after veterinary experts concluded that it was likely her death was due to stress caused by fireworks.

A baby red panda at Edinburgh Zoo has died from firework stress, say veterinary experts. Roxie, who was three months old, died on Bonfire Night after choking on her own vomit. The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) said the baby panda was overwhelmed from stress after hearing pyrotechnics being set off across the city.
