Six pack rings hazard to wildlife

SIX PACK RINGS

As many are already aware, six pack rings pose a significant threat of entanglement to wildlife. The above wild peking duck had this six pack ring entangled around her neck and bill, preventing her from eating. Agents from U.S. Fish and Wildlife were able to catch the bird, cut away the ring, and release her.

To permanently prevent any chance of six pack rings causing death to wildlife they should always be cut apart before disposal, even if you are throwing them in your trash at home. Anytime you see these rings, please break all holes/loops on them before discarding.

If you make an effort to not trash our world or clean up after those inconsiderate individuals who do, the next time you see a beautiful blue heron or majestic hawk, smile with pride with the knowledge that perhaps, it is because of your efforts that they are there.
