Six pack ring around a birds neck.

Six pack ring around an animals neck . I have seen pictures and posters and videos but today I witnessed it first hand. I know it's just one of those stinking cormorants but that is a gruesome and slow way to die. I would have no problem shooting these things or even knocking them on the head with a stick but this is something different. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures.

Need another five cormorants to get your quota.

Excellent

It is a sad thing to see... I clip every one of the loops myself. As for the limit... I heard they lifted all possession limits on Canada Geese and Snow Geese this year for hunters, why not an open season on cormorants as well?

I'm glad your mentioned that Wayne. I would have never thought of it...but now I will take the time to clip mine as well.

Yep, I have rescued a seagull that had one stuck around his neck.

I also take the scissors to 6 pack rings before throwing them out.

fishing line too, it really does take a long time to break down....I've came across more than one dead goose/loon tangled up along shoreline with fishing line around his neck, sad way to die

 

my last visit to London, ON I watched a cop on a bicycle write up a ticket to an angler at springbank park for littering, angler wasn't too happy and was quite verbal about it LOL but good to see him get a ticket

 

littering is one of those things that is inexcusable in my books, I get ripped on for having a filthy truck (at times) and my standard reply, "not the tidiest guy but hey, I don't litter"

Why even take the 6 pack rings fishing? Take the two seconds to seperate your cans. They are likely in a cooler bag anyway. Throw them in your blue box at home and for heavens sakes put the cans there too when you get back!

Why are 6 pack rings tossed overboard to begin with !!!

Because sadly, we're forced to share this planet with a bunch of slobs .
