  • It's entirely possible to find all that in it's stomach, It's an albatross after all.

  • pikieater is true. Over 100 years we will end as the bird, eating plastic.

  • WTF there is no way that bird had that amount of plastic in its stomach! Fucking liers.

  • omg sob

  • the music is so sad..the chick was so cute! those who litter should reconsider before littering...that poor thing..thumbs if u agree rest in peace little thing

  • the music is so sad..the chick was so cute! those who litter should reconsider before littering...that poor thing..thumbs if u agree

  • Bullshit! How hard is it to dispose of waste properly

  • Oh jeez, this is awful. Imagine a whle bunch of plastic crap in your stomach. Ugh, that's disgusting.

  • "Its an animal, its not intelligent, which lead to its death." We kill animals every day for food, and thousands of animals at that. If one animal dies, we eat it. If we can not eat the animal, might as well complain to someone to change the way that we have been using and disposing of our materials. Better yet, why don't we just rid ourselves of those types of materials and go all natural. I could see drinking from a coconut if there was one around, or eating off a leaf or the dirt instead...

  • poor poor poor shed bird :( GET THE GOVERMENT THEY'RE RESPONSABLE!

  • gothnad u r sick!! they are just animals, its our fault that they die. we were the ones who distrurb their ecosystem. bcos some of us are just plain fucking greedy and fucking ignorant!!

  • Jeez, stupid birds eating plastic, they wouldn't die if they were smarter. Plastic=no eat, not food. Learn you birds- Survival of the fittest i say, obviously these birds are unfit cause they can't even tell the difference between plastic and food.

  • Oh my...

  • What a sick world... This almost made me cry...

  • wow i never expected THAT much plastic in a bird...

  • Woah, that's too sad, anyone know exactly how many plastic items there was inside the birds stomach?

  • oh my, i've seen this b4, n it's so sad.

  • that is so shocking and sad!

  • 1:29 hmmm i spy lol

    but still very sad and kinda weird story

  • hmm i wonder if alot of birds die from that or maybe that bird liked plastic o.O

  • That bird is really full of rubbish!

  • wow he had alot of junk

  • the sad truth :/

  • this is cleary a disposal problem. the world isnt going to stop using platics so how we bin senseibly it is what needed.

  • its not down to us anymore. if its a plastic thats not going to breakdown over time then it will end up in out waters, no matter if we recycle it or not. companies like COCA COLA need to use a bio-degradable plastic, something thats going to break down. its come to far to point the finger at a single person. its the companies who are responsible for the plastics..

  • I totally agree. Working in a convenience-store, I feel bad about how much plastic, essentially, we sell and put out there. I think it IS the companies and (ALL) governments responsibility. But it's all about money and quality. Bio friendly stuff is prob more expensive and won't keep food and drink fresh as long.

  • Actually, preparation of the use of BIOPOL by coca cola has begun. Lets hope coca cola's biodegradable packaging becomes integrated soon.

  • My God, all sea birds are going to die :( When will the TIMBER companies stop LOGGING and start making BOARD/timber from RECYCLED PLASTIC. The world is full of plastic!! RECYCLE IT..get the plastic out of the oceans!!

  • crazy...;(

  • Plastics half life is way too long

  • we better stop putting waste in the wild...(its hard, i know we r trying )

  • Sad.

  • I sometimes wonder if the people who litter do it because they don't know what a trash can is or how to use one.

  • Hey everyone! It's the "I Hate Idiots Who Litter" List!!!

    1.chiappina

    2.RowanfirexCxE

    Copy, paste, and add your name to the list!!!

  • Why should we add our name to the list? it's absurd for you to accuse us all of littering... I have never littered in my life.

  • how is he accusing "us all" of littering???

  • He said to put your name to the list claiming that we all litter...

  • no i think he means the list is of people who hate idiots who litter

  • You can't digest plastic, they're resistance to acid that's y they're kept in plastic bottles

  • this is sad.

  • Wow !

  • people should SERIOUSLY stop littering and dumping their trash all over the place

    the ONLY place garbage should go is the trash can and lanfill

  • Give this comment a thumbs up if you think we should stop littering and people who litter are idiots

  • i wondered where my lighter went.

  • 咯

  • Nothing new. Mankind has destroyed the planet for a thousand years, and will continue to do so until the end.

  • Man would not have reached such a high point of intelligence without destroying himself if this kind of behavoir was human nature.

    I think this behavoir is new, it began at the age of agriculture. Check out permaculture.

    Agriculture is not the only answer.

    Read Ismael by Daniel Quinn for more info.

    Great book!

  • Hey everyone! It's the "I Hate Idiots Who Litter" List!!!

    Copy, paste, and add your name to the list!!!

  • this is the first youtube video that i **almost** shed a tear... =(

  • aw.....

  • plastic's not the problem, idiots are the problem.

  • agree

  • That was sad.

  • HOLY SHIT!!!

  • Oh my, That was sad.

  • That's a LOT of plastic in that one bird.

  • Poor thing. I really wish I can go back to rural living rather than urban living. That way, it'll be more natural and my health will be better too.

  • HOLY FUCKING SHIT MAN!!

  • they should make huge ass bird feeders on every beach etc

  • Man, we killed birdy. We Bastards!

  • WE'RE BASTARDS!

  • this is so sad.. 1200 miles from the main islands of hawaii and in a super remote location, the birds have that in their stomachs.. what are we doing to this planet?

  • we are fucking this planet up stop using plastic bottels use the damn manko fruist as a cantainers!!!

  • That's messed up. Clean up your act people. Is it really that hard to throw your shit in a garbage can?

  • who . gives. a. shit. DONT LITTER. there is your god damn solution you dumb hippie

  • HA and tell me. Is it working?

  • Its not the bird, what this story is about is that we people dispose of our waste without think twice about our environment, and what that could lead to..

  • i hope u die of aids

  • i hope you and your children die of aids

  • Just goes to show you how "holy" the environmental movement is.

  • that's what you say, but one day when they're all gone, you'll think back to your comment and it wont be just a f***ing bird anymore

  • wow

  • It's hard not to see humanity as a cancer on the planet. We were not always this way.

  • i posted americans are stupid on page 2 and it got +4 lol!

  • i try it alredy it SUCKSSSSSSSSSS

  • Is this how the dodo bird died?

  • Plastic is horrible. I wish we would go back to using glass! Plastics aren't healthy for any life form!

    Samantha Grace

    Thursday- Fivenakedmodels

  • Neither is glass.

  • OMG!=( HOW SAD

  • They should stop using plastics and things that are not biodegradable (can't spell).

  • sooooo sad :( as a vegan I must avoid plastic. If you don't you're being a hypocrite. I refuse to eat at places that use styraphome too (spelling mistake?), that stuff is another one of our brilliant inventions that we do not need but kills us all nonetheless :( GRR.

  • Yeah spelling mistake lol.

  • fuckin idiot bird brain. j/k j/k

    there is nothing anyone can do about all that crap. it will never decompose.

    RIP earth. You did the best you could

  • whats j/k meen?

  • joke

  • i thought jk was joke.

  • its the same shit

  • It could be Just kidding.

  • yeh

  • it's so sad......

  • That's so sad.. :/

  • It's partly my fault, so I'm changing my faulty ways...

  • and the moral of the story....dont eat plastic

  • the united states are destroying everything they don't join the kyoto-protocol (for less CO2)

  • It is really sad. One time one of my science teachers showed a movie about a whale who died because it had trash in it's stomach. I wish we could do something about it. One thing we could do is encourage people to recycle and not to litter. But a lot of stuff dumped in land fills ends up in the ocean especially with countries that don't have a lot of land and ships also dump trash into the ocean because they don't have any where else to put it.

  • fuck people who litter die bastards

  • Fuck those human. poor bird:(

  • this is FKED up

  • ;(((( Realy, realy sad....we are killing everything around us....with one stupid human action there are so many damages...the fate of this bird is only one of them

  • It's like those eye spy books.

  • :O

    thats so sad

    poor bird

  • This needs to be feature on the homepage, people need to acknowledge this problem :/

  • Damn i feel soo bad

  • OUR DISPOSABLE SOCIETY AT WORK... Don't let it keep you up at night though, stupid fucking Americans.

  • Love how you use 'stupid americans' as a scapegoat for everything, it made me laugh, but really this is a global issue. You can't blame the the Americans for everything...hahaha

  • You're right and wrong. American fast food chains and other disposable avenues are the main problem. Second, would be cheap plastic crap from China that North Americans demand for some stupid reason.

    Shouldn't blame it all on Americans but you are by far the most ignorant nation in the world.

  • americans are stupid

  • im acctually disapointed at myself :(

  • wow crazy that it had that much waste in it smh

  • it's sad true of our real life :( we need to help those animals...

  • so what "species" are you MrDragonDeamon?

  • this is really sad

  • dude fck u!

  • dude... its the dumb humans who litter... its not her fault u know. humans are supposed to be smart remember?

  • What a sad and sobering reality. Just today I was behind a person who threw crap out her car window while she was driving and I thought, how is it possible that we are still so ignorant about taking care of each other and our environment? What is it going to take to wake us all up?

  • I know it's horrible what we do to our environment, but I much say you are one of the few people I've seen that used the word "ignorant" correctly. So yay!

  • some people just couldn't care less about the environment..and it will come to haunt those who dont take care of it

  • we humans are the filthiest of all animals on this planet! we dump our crap everywhere and we don't give a damn when our wildlife suffer and die. nature will have her revenge upon us, indeed, she has already started! good luck mama nature!

  • who the hell do you think i am?

    i am one very ashamed human being! that's who i am!

    fuckwit!

  • i found the remote controll and the lighter i couldnt find the watch!?!

    poor bird

  • only god will take revenge 4 those poor animals.. shame on us humans.. god will protect & save the nature.

  • Shame on us, every day I see the evil that humans create. We don't understand animals, nature, but we don't need to destroy them! ;O

  • man the world doesnt need humans they just detroy it

  • Humanity can save the world or destroy it. Only man is capable of making the right choice.

  • Daym us Humans man! Daym us! we massacre those poor birds everyday!

  • wow, they survived for quite long with them plastics inside, poor birds

  • Almost didn't watch... thought you maybe meant poop, when description said human waste.

    Help the envioroment.

  • wow was that all in the birds stomach... i felt sad as heck...

  • >:( GRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA

  • hmmm that bitch ass bird should have learned how to drink out of a bottle. lmao

    you think it would have since the parents feeds them..

    but the plastic wa obstructing its digestive system

  • shut up idiot

  • If you are from Philadelphia, then I am not surprised by your moronic comment.

  • This is sad. No one gives a fuck that not only are we destroying ourselves, but the beautiful animals we have here. :\

  • we are not only destroying ourselves, but the beautiful lives that mother nature has given us as well. what have these animals done to deserve such horrible deaths? i know... they are stupid animals. that type of mentality is exactly why our future is full of shit and destruction. it is easier to love than to hate. we should try it out, see what happens... it makes me sad to know that most humans are now indoctrinated to the point of not loving our earth and our fellow living beings, sick.

  • Maybe if it was smart enough to realize that it would die if it ate all that stuff it wouldn't have done it. The sad truth hydro (I know it is hard to accept) is that it is just a stupid animal. Don't make that a reason to stop making IV bags, computers, CDs, plumbing pipes, shrink-wrap, containers, car bumpers, and numerous other things that make life more efficient. It's easy to sit behind your plastic computer there and condemn human beings for how horrible they are, you hypocrite.

  • all we have to do is not throw plastic in the ocean

  • thaiblacky is a sack of crap..lol. What makes you so smart Einstein? You invent the light bulb or something? You don't think there are smarter beings looking down on you thinking you do some dumb ass shit? Think b4 u speak buddy...instead of being some sarcastic jackass who makes fun of somebody, why don't you be more productive and thoughtful with your critisism.

  • that bird was recycling!

  • idiot
