Whale Dies After Eating More Than 80 Plastic Bags
巨頭鯨吞食80多個塑料袋后死亡
A pilot whale suffered and died in southern Thailand this week after ingesting more than 80 plastic bags. The 17 pounds of plastic were found in the short-fin pilot whale’s stomach during an autopsy. Veterinarians and volunteers had worked hard to care for the whale after locals spotted it floating strangely in a canal. Thailand’s marine and coastal resources department says this whale has inspired them to raise awareness about the dangers of plastics. June 8 is World Oceans Day. This year’s theme is “preventing plastic pollution.”
本周,在吞入80多個塑料袋后,一頭巨頭鯨在泰國南部痛苦死亡。驗尸時,人們在這頭短鰭巨頭鯨的胃中發(fā)現了17磅的塑料。當地人發(fā)現它異常漂浮在運河上后,獸醫(yī)和志愿者一直在努力照顧它。泰國海洋和沿海資源部門表示,這頭鯨魚讓他們想要提高人們對塑料危害的認識。6月8日是世界海洋日。今年的主題是“防止塑料污染”。
