Pacific Wildlife Care—911 animal rescue and rehabilitation
Releasing sky lanterns and going to lantern festivals may seem like a cool and fun idea but it is not! Unfortunately, this flaming trash is horrible for the environment and wildlife. They have even caused wildfires and one a few months back locally here in Morro Bay. Please don't go to these events or release lanterns!

Same with balloon releases. Not good 😞
I think they are illegal/banned in CA?!
There are some very responsible lantern festival groups, who work with Native Americans to utilize empty desert space, with virtually no vegetation or structures. They also have a stringent clean up and sustainability policy, which is committed to leaving the earth cleaner than they started. Partake responsibly.. Sending them up locally in a high fire risk area is unacceptable. risefestival.com/sustainability/ is an excellent example of a responsible lantern festival.
Found these in my horse pasture. I have curious horses who like to chew on everything. This makes for a terrible vet bill......
Got so mad at some tourists who were releasing these at the dunes in Pismo. They didn't care and set them free, because it would go out to sea. I explained about sea life trying to eat them, and what if it drifts back to land? They didn't care when I also told them it was illegal. Watched hopelessly as they drifted towards Avila.
Some of the most impressive wildlife spectacles happen like clockwork each fall on national wildlife refuges. We've listed out a few favorites: bit.ly/2hDrw54

Freedom Friday! This sassy Red-tailed Hawk is showing off his beautiful feathers and letting us know he wants nothing to do with us anymore! He came in as a youngster that fell from his nest and after some time growing up and learning how to hunt he was ready to go. He wasted no time in flying off when he was released. Good luck out there!
