For example, a video of a turtle with a plastic straw stuck in its nostril recently surfaced and sparked an outcry from animal welfare groups. In the video, a marine biologist attempts to remove the straw from the turtles' nostrils, which takes about fifteen minutes. This obviously causes pain to the turtle due to the force used by the biologist to remove the straw. Other videos and images of birds starving to death due to plastic rings and cans stuck in their beaks show the seriousness of this situation.
