Imagine having 50 plastic bags in your stomach that you could not digest, causing ulcers and tremendous discomfort and the feeling that you’re full, all the time. You can’t and don’t eat any food. This is what happens to camels, and it results in intestinal bleeding, blockages, dehydration, malnutrition and death.

with an interstate and county roads running through the ranch, we have lost any number of animals to plastic ingestion and while I haven't seen any deer carcasses with it, I don't doubt they die from it too.
