Image Of Tigers Trying To Eat Plastic Is Proof We've Destroyed Nature Beyond Repair
Friday, March 13, 2020 IST
There is absolutely no way that the plastic that already exists in our ecosystems can be flushed out. Even though many companies in various countries are doing their bit to replace plastic with more biodegradable materials, the production of plastic items does not seem to be on a significant decline.
One can clean the beaches but cannot get rid of the plastic choking aquatic life to death. Images of turtles, fish and seals choking on some form of plastic or another are common now.
Now an images of a couple of tigers reportedly from Jim Corbett toying around and seemingly trying to eat what appears to be a broken plastic bucket/big bottle is going viral on the Internet.
The image has been shared on Twitter by IFS Parveen Kaswan with the caption, ‘Nothing. Few #tigers playing with #plastic they just received as a gift from us & delivered by this river at #Corbett. That is how deep into #forests & #oceans this plastic menace is growing. Hundreds of wildlife is [sic] dying because of them’. He goes on to credit the image to Trikansh Sharma.
The image is indeed disturbing and highlights the spaces that man-made plastic has invaded. It is not only directly harmful to the aquatic but potentially to wild animals on land too.
