> The paper about birds, also doesn't state anywhere that plastic has killed any bird. It's literally in the introduction, with citations to the papers that have the documentation of the occurrences: > Many seabird species are sensitive to plastic pollution; they frequently ingest plastic, which can have lethal and sublethal impacts caused by chemical contamination and physical damage or blockages. And > There is a way to find out. Captive dolphins exist. Throw some plastics around and see if dolphins eat it. Take some captive seagulls for some weeks, feed them some fish, and throw around their food, plastic bottle caps etc. See if the seagulls will eat it. Do they eat as much plastic as they can and die afterwards? This is probably the most disgusting and awful suggestion I've seen for a long time. "I don't want to consider that my actions may be harmful, so I'd rather you subject some animals to cruel and needless deaths".
