For those of you that refuse to believe that plastic bags have a direct effect on marine life see below. This turtle was rescued by Sea Turtle, Inc. on South Padre Island. The volunteer is having to aid the animal in passing the bag. Most turtles are not so lucky to have assistance and end up dying.
Yes. This is a REAL turtle attempting to pass a REAL plastic shopping bag it consumed |
Thanks to the hospital at Sea Turtle, Inc. this Sea Turtle will survive its mistake. Most aren't so lucky. |
Pass on the bag so another Sea Turtle won't have to!
