Woman Left Heartbroken After Seeing Duck Trapped In The Most Horrible Way

See this plastic ring? We have all probably tossed about a thousand of them in the trash during our lives! They are found on plastic containers, like milk jugs. Sadly, when they end up on the ground (not in the trash) these seemingly harmless rings can do a lot of damage!
