A duck has been saved by the RSPCA after getting stuck with a plastic ring around its neck. It is believed the plastic ring is the same sort used to package cans of beer together. 'Litter can have such a detrimental impact on our wildlife and this duck was very fortunate that the plastic ring did not cause any injuries. The plastic was fortunately not tight around the animal's neck (pictured) and did not appear to cause any injuries or cause difficulty breathing. However, plastic stuck around the neck and throat area is a hazard for many marine animals, as the animals think it is food and, once trapped, are unable to remove it.
