Man-made plastic items inside dead albatrosses

This was on CNN today. Thought I'd share it here, to let people reflect on how humans have changed how nature works, this time, in a less desirable way.







Yes, in the last two images, those are plastic disposable lighters.

The reason why they end up in the bodies of these dead Albatross chicks (yes these chicks didn't get the chance to grow up to be a fully adult albatross, you probably know the reason why), is because their parents scoop up anything they find floating in the ocean, and feed it to their young.

Ponder on that for a few minutes.
