Scanning through Ian Mackenzie-Vincent’s ‘Plastic Pollution Pandemic’ Facebook page, one can easily pick his zealous activism against a huge problem.
In one of the many of his posts, Mackenzie shows an unusual image of a lioness in a park.
You would expect to see the carnivore devouring on an impala, but the image shows a 500mg plastic water bottle squeezed between the animal’s jaws.
The questions that strike the mind at the moment are; did the animal swallow it? Who would dump a bottle inside a park full of herbs and meat-eating wild animals? Who did they expect to collect the bottle? The lions or the gazelles?
