A wild deer was found dead after swallowing 7 kilograms (15 pounds) of plastic bags and other trash in
Thailand, an official said Tuesday, raising the alarm on waste littering the country's waters and forests.
The Southeast Asian country is one of the world's largest consumers of plastic, with Thais using up to 3,000 single-use plastic bags each per year, whether for wrapping street food, takeaway coffee or packing groceries.
Now the scourge of plastic waste is affecting Thailand's animals on land.
