To know why albatrosses die, just look into their stomach!! (30 pics)

This post is another example of the consequences of human pollution. It’s really shocking!

Sometimes, I’ve got the feeling that everything man touches becomes dirty… ‘cause wherever man goes, he lets trash behind him without minding of the consequences, no wonder why everything is so polluted or crappy nowadays…
According to the author of the pics, the corpses have not been moved and nothing has been added in the birds or altered in any way… so this is truly amazing but not in a good way.

But why would they eat it when it isn't part of their diet? Overfishing? Blargh humans.

I wonder how much of that stuff was in the fish they ate as well.

@ rustriver
quick answer is the plastics looks like the foods they eat (shellfish,starfish, fish, jellyfish,etc). for them its really hard to discern. this applies to sea turtles, sharks, whales, just about anything in the ocean really. and even if we throw our garbage in correct locations, who'se to say it actually makes it to where we think its going?
