A deer was found dead in Thailand with over 15 pounds of trash in its stomach, including plastic bags and hand towels.
Some of the items found inside the deer's intestinal tract included instant noodle flavoring bags, plastic bags, rubber gloves, hand towels, men's underwear and a straw rope, according to Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.When animals eat trash, they often die of starvation because their stomachs are full but they are not receiving any nutrients from its contents.
Kriangsak Thanompun, director of the protected region in the Khun Sathan National Park, described the deer's death as a"tragedy" and called for the use of"nature-friendly products" rather than plastic.Thailand is one of the world's largest consumers of plastic, with residents using about 3,000 single-use plastic bags each year to wrap street food, takeout coffee or groceries, according to AFP.
The news comes months after an 8-month-old dugong named Marium, a loveable manatee-like animal that went viral for hugging its helpers in Thailand, died with plastic in her stomach.
