"Pulled this balloon and pieces of a couple others from the field this morn. My sheep had already been chewing on them. For those that 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."
