Whale Dies After Eating More Than 80 Plastic Bags
巨头鲸吞食80多个塑料袋后死亡
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多个塑料袋后,一头巨头鲸在泰国南部痛苦死亡。验尸时,人们在这头短鳍巨头鲸的胃中发现了17磅的塑料。当地人发现它异常漂浮在运河上后,兽医和志愿者一直在努力照顾它。泰国海洋和沿海资源部门表示,这头鲸鱼让他们想要提高人们对塑料危害的认识。6月8日是世界海洋日。今年的主题是“防止塑料污染”。
