The zoological society is now calling for greater restrictions on the extensive fireworks displays that are a trademark of Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, the Nov. 5 celebration named after a participant in a failed plot in 1605 to kill King James I.

Animal campaigners are calling for a ban on the public sale of fireworks after Roxie the baby red panda was thought to have died from stress related to the noise.

Three-month-old Roxie choked on her own vomit as fireworks were being set off across Edinburgh on Bonfire Night.
