Ban balloon releases

Ban balloon releases — 14,475 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

I would like the Government to ban balloon releases due to the devastating impact, misery and suffering they can cause to marine life and other animals, including swallowing balloons, getting tangled in balloons, and dying a painful death as a result of this.

Additional details

Releasing balloons into the sky can cause mass devastation to wildlife and can endanger the environment. I feel very passionate about banning this practice completely. I believe that if people could see first hand and educate themselves about cruelty and suffering caused by releasing balloons, they would support banning balloon releases completely.
