Stray animals plastic victims on Ramtekdi

At Hadapsar Ramtekdi, stray animals grazing on open rubbish are falling prey to man-made plastic. Plastic is important for the sudden death of animals

Is the element. But not much attention has been paid to this. Therefore, solid waste thrown in the open needs to be picked up immediately. Garbage is piled up on the main road at Ramtekdi. There is no control over it. Garbage carts run for municipal waste collection. Even after that, there are piles of rubbish on the side of the road. What is special is that even though there is a ban on plastic in it, how does plastic waste get into the garbage? That is the question. Veterinarian Ashish Mane said, `Stray animals eat anything from waste fodder to plastic bags. The digestive system in animals cannot digest plastic, so this plastic accumulates in the digestive system and causes obstruction in the digestive system, the plastic has to be removed by surgery. However, it is not easy to notice that animals eat plastic. Therefore, these animals fall prey to various diseases. It also kills many animals.

Not only plastics but also pieces of iron and nails get into the stomachs of the animals from the waste. Horses or other animals have sensitive lips and teeth so they know what they don't want to eat.
