I pulled this balloon (pictured) and pieces of a couple of others from the field on April 10.
My sheep had already been chewing on them.
For those who let balloons go for celebrations or ceremonies, while the sentiment is sweet, as are the intentions, the balloons don’t actually go to heaven.
Instead, they land in our fields, or in our waterways, or in forests, for curious animals to choke on.
They never biodegrade and never go away.

How sad you dont realise
But saying that people should not stop letting off Balloons for ceremonies or celebrations its basically a symbol of sharing and caring love and respect to the person who has maybe passed away who has requested this
