Heartbreaking

Manatees look very similar and feed off the grasses and plants in THEIR waters. OUR pollution! THEIR habitat.

Did it die because of the plastic, or because it was 'pursued by an overly-aggressive male during the mating season.' classic case of post hoc fallacy here.

manatee's live there too?

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Poor, beautiful baby. Lord, help us.

I spent three months traveling Thailand and SE Asia, the people and the land were beautiful, but they unfortunately would throw their trash on the side of the road with no hesitation. They need proper waste management, it is an urgent need for the people and our environment.

I bet that plastic this dugong died from was from a Trump supporter who made its way to Thailand.
