I've heard the balloons get caught in powerlines and also birds in flight can become tangled.

I know it's pretty to see them floating in the air, but not worth the risk.

On a side note, rice, thrown at the groom and bride after they have tied the knot is not good for the birds to eat.   Throw bird seed instead.

Most certainly

I've always wondered why we allow people to do that. Those thousands of balloons have to end up somewhere. My question has been "where?" Not a good idea.

No I don't think it's a good idea, and the lanterns with fire inside should definitely not be done. 

....the potential for hurting birds/animals is real

....no

I agree it's always humans first. But, what is the purpose of releasing balloons for ANY reason and more importantly, where do they end up? Birds and animals aside, isn't it just shooting "garbage" up into the air? It will land somewhere. Where? I don't want them in my yard or trees.
