Why do animals starve to death when they eat plastic bags?

The dangers of plastic to humans:

Plastic products are actually divided into safety levels, generally regular plastic products that can enter the microwave oven are safe, such as baby bottles, these plastic products are food grade or medical grade, which can be used with confidence, if it is an ordinary plastic bag, it will release a lot of harmful substances when encountering high temperatures, such as take-out plastic bags have great safety hazards, so it is necessary to reasonably choose plastic products made of safe materials!

First, it affects agricultural development. The accumulation of waste plastic products in the soil will affect the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, resulting in reduced crop yields.

Second, it poses a threat to the survival of animals. Waste plastic products discarded on land or in water bodies are swallowed by animals as food, resulting in the death of animals. Last year, nearly 1,000 sheep from 20 herdsmen in Qinghai Lake were killed, causing an economic loss of more than 300,000 yuan.

Sheep like to eat the oily residue wrapped in plastic bags, but often eat together with plastic bags, because the eaten plastic remains in the stomach for a long time and is difficult to digest, these sheep's stomachs are crowded, can no longer eat, and can only be starved to death. This kind of thing is not uncommon in zoos, pastoral areas, rural areas, and oceans.

Third, waste plastics will not only occupy a large amount of land with landfills, but also the occupied land will not be restored for a long time, affecting the sustainable use of land. If the waste plastic products that enter the domestic garbage are landfilled, they will not degrade for 200 years. It is extremely harmful to the land, changing its pH, affecting the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, resulting in reduced agricultural yields, and as for plastic products discarded in water or on land, it not only affects the environment, but also leads to death if passively swallowed.

This upsets the ecological balance.

Fourth, high temperature decomposes toxic substances, plastic products have no toxic substances, but because its reuse equipment is not perfect, the process is simple, and many manufacturers do not have a legal business license, resulting in the reproduction of plastic products when the temperature reaches 65, toxic substances will precipitate and infiltrate into the food, which will cause harm to the liver, kidneys, reproductive system and central nervous system and other important parts of the human body.

Nowadays, all products are degradable plastic products, but due to cost considerations, many vendors will not use them.

Because the plastic in the stomach can't be digested, it has been piled up in the stomach, and other foods can't get in, some directly block the respiratory tract, and the animals are directly suffocated to death, so don't litter, it's really harmful to animals.

Because after the animal eats the plastic bag, the plastic bag cannot be digested in the digestive system, and it lacks hunger, so it will starve itself to death.
