Rubbish bags like this black bag are very common in Namibia and many other countries. They are often used to transport and store goods. All of those bags should end up at the rubbish dumpster, but many of them are discarded in the ocean or anywhere else in nature. They are not very strong and stable and they often break, especially if they are used to carry large and heavy items, and then there is no more use for those bags. Rubbish bags are meant to contain the never ending mountain of small rubbish, but they often end up as torn and broken rubbish themselves, just like this seal's entanglement. The plastic is thin, but strong enough to cut into the seal and Antoine has to pull it out of her skin.
