Whale eaten 80 plastic bags has died off Thailand
A pilot whale has died off southern Thailand after swallowing 80 plastic bags, Thai marine officials say.
The whale vomited five bags during a vain attempt by conservation officials to save it in a canal in Songkhla province.
The bags, weighing about 8kg (17lbs), had made it impossible for the whale to eat food, a marine expert said.
A recent report warned the amount of plastic in the ocean could triple in a decade unless litter was curbed.
Thailand is a major user of plastic bags and its government last month announced it was considering a levy on them.
They are believed to kill hundreds of marine animals there each year.
The small male pilot whale had been discovered ailing and unable to swim in the Na Thap Canal last Monday
