DEATH BY PLASTIC INGESTION

These images are shocking. There is something horrific about an animal innocently eating plastic until they die from it. Thousands of Albatross die a year this way and they are just some of the creatures. Birds are especially attracted to the bright colours of bottle caps etc that litter the ocean. I feel that this could be a really powerful focus for a final print/image. This whole idea of 'death by plastic' is just so inhumane. Photographs of carcasses from the web.
