In a remarkable incident in Ahmedabad, a stray dog had to undergo surgery to remove 3kg of plastic from its belly. The surgery was performed by a team of veterinarians who were shocked to find such a large amount of plastic in the dog’s stomach. The dog was brought to the hospital by animal welfare volunteers who noticed its deteriorating health. The surgery was successful, and the dog is now on the road to recovery. This incident sheds light on the growing problem of plastic pollution in India, especially in urban areas where stray animals often scavenge for food in garbage dumps. It serves as a reminder for people to be more responsible with their plastic waste and to dispose of it properly to prevent harm to animals and the environment. Animal welfare organizations are urging the public to be more mindful of the impact of plastic pollution on wildlife and to take steps to reduce the use of single-use plastics. This incident also highlights the importance of regular check-ups and care for stray animals to ensure their well-being. The veterinarians involved in the surgery have emphasized the need for awareness and action to address the issue of plastic waste, not just for the sake of animals but for the overall health of the planet.
