Texas Farmers Urge: Stop Releasing Balloons – They’re Killing Our Animals

There are lots of people in Texas who love to have parties or get-togethers, and adding balloons can bring even more excitement. It’s funny how these simple balloons can make kids happy for hours.

It’s also common to see families set balloons free when celebrating the life of a family member who has passed away.

But there are farmers in Texas who are begging people to quit letting balloons go because they are killing animals.

As I was scrolling through social media recently, I saw a picture of a man picking up balloons in a large field.

There was a long caption to the photo, and most times I skip over those, but for some reason, I wanted to see what this one said, and it turned out to be important information.

How are Balloons Killing Farm Animals?

When you let a balloon go, sure, it looks great floating through the sky, but eventually, it’s going to fall down.

If that balloon lands in an area where a horse, goat, or cow is living, those animals often confuse the balloons for food, which can cause intestinal blocking or choking.

According to the source, most times, there is nothing that can be done to save the animal.

Stop Releasing Balloons

It’s time to rethink releasing balloons into the sky. We don’t want to kill animals. We can find other ways to celebrate or bring excitement to a gathering.
