A woman whose horse died after being spooked by a balloon is calling for balloon releases to be banned. Anne Keen's horse seriously injured itself in a field in Devizes when helium balloons floated down next to it. Several animal charities want outdoor balloon releases banned, but the government says it's a matter for local authorities. Watch Caron Bell's report on ITVX: tinyurl.com/2bmjh2ah

True, and devastatingly sad. We need to be outdoors more, talking face-to-face more, and staring at screens much less (all ages!)
