BANGKOK â?? Some 80 pieces of plastic rubbish weighing 17 pounds were found in the stomach of a whale that died in Thailand after a five-day effort to save it, a marine official said on Sunday.

The pilot whale was discovered on Monday in a canal in the southern province of Songkhla and received treatment from a team of veterinarians.

Globally, eight million tons of plastic â?? bottles, packaging and other waste â?? are dumped into the ocean every year, killing marine life and entering the human food chain, the United Nations Environment Program said in December.
