Organisations such as the RSPCA have called for an outright ban on balloon and lantern releases due to their impact on livestock, wildlife and their habitat.
There are renewed calls for balloon releases to be banned amid concerns for the welfare of wildlife. A seal pup was found entangled in a balloon string on a beach in North Wales last year. Gem Simmons, from the North Wales Seal Research Organisation, was one of the officers who coordinated its rescue. The pup sadly died later that night and, while its cause of death has not been proven, Ms Simmons said the entanglement would have been a 'contributing factor to his suffering'.
'There was a tag on it but it was well-washed in the waves so you couldn't see what the tag actually said, but a good indicator to us that this was a balloon release.' People who organise balloon releases 'never intend for this to happen,' Ms Simmons added. 'There are much better ways in my opinion, and more environmentally-friendly ways, to celebrate the life of your loved ones.
