Why Plastic Bags Are Bad For Animals. Turtles mistake plastic bags for food. marine creatures like sea turtles, whales, and seabirds like the toroa (royal southern albatross) may ingest plastic bags, bottle caps, and other plastic. global plastic pollution jumped from two million tonnes in 1950 to 348 million tonnes in 2017, and is projected to double by 2040. animals eat plastic every day. large pieces of plastic waste can physically fragment habitats, isolating populations of animals and reducing genetic. ingesting plastic is often fatal to animals—too much plastic blocks their digestive tracts, causing them to starve. sea turtles mistakenly eat plastic bags that they confuse with jellyfish. Whales are found with plastic in the stomach. millions of animals are killed by plastics every year, from birds to fish to blue whales, often from eating and getting caught in plastic. Sea birds, whales, dolphins, and other marine animals often turn up dead with stomachs full of plastic or get caught in abandoned plastic fishing nets.
