Disturbing Clip Shows Fisherman Pulling Out Plastic From The Stomach Of A Fish In Spain
A video of a fish with a stomach full of plastic is going viral. The video was reportedly from Playa de las Americas Tenerife the Canary Islands in Spain. The fisherman had apparently caught two octopuses and a fish.
Aquatic animals puking out plastic has become a common affair. Not just aquatic animals, cows, deers and even snakes are found to be carrying a large amount of plastic inside their bodies. Plastic does not decompose easily, nor is the body of animals prepared to break it down and digest it, hence it is becoming one of the leading causes of problems among animals.

The fishermen thought something was odd about the fish and when he ripped open the fish he found out that there was plastic in the transparent stomach bag of the fish.
When the fisherman tears the stomach of the fish, the plastic came out. The fisherman caught the fresh water fish- it was alive with so much plastic inside its gut.
This is the amount of plastic in the body of a little fish, imagine what the sharks and whales are carrying inside them.
