calf dies after ingesting balloon

For the love of all that is good, please stop releasing balloons! Last week, a six-month-old calf named Lisa died after ingesting a discarded balloon in Beckingham. The baby cow suffered for a week before passing away reports Linconshire Live News.

Owner Sharon Lay wishes that people would be mindful of the harm they can cause when trash, like the balloon that killed Lisa, is discarded. She tells the news agency:

We found half the balloon and our hearts sank. It said ‘Happy 70th birthday’ on it, but now Lisa won’t even make it to seven months. It’s horrible. If she had got an infection or became ill, you would understand. But this is so needless.”

Adding:

“People need to be more conscious of what they’re doing. If they land in a field like this one has then a cow or a deer or some other animal will eat it and will die

Lisa’s mother, and the other cows, seemed to understand that the people were trying to help her baby – they would lick Lisa’s caregivers and seemed to show appreciation for their efforts. When the calf finally passed, her mother did not want the body taken away. Lay said:

“After she had died we found she was wet – her mum had been licking her trying to wake her up. She wouldn’t leave her side. When we were taking Lisa away her mum was running around the tractor trying to get it to stop.
