fireworks

Edinburgh Zoo's baby red panda has died from stress caused by fireworks on Bonfire Night, according to veterinary experts.

The zoo is now joining with animal welfare charities and other campaigners in calling for tighter restrictions on fireworks.

New powers banning the use of fireworks came into force in four areas of Edinburgh between 1-10 November - though this did not include the area around the zoo.

When Edinburgh's fireworks control zones were announced in August, the Dogs Trust charity said it backed a city-wide ban despite not having any centres in Edinburgh.

Ben Supple said it was "essential" for the UK and Scottish governments to crack down on the use and sale of fireworks.
