Vets have performed an operation on a mini bull in India which has been eating plastic all its life.

Charity organisation Animal Aid Unlimited India came to the aid of Tingu, who didn’t have long to live.

Vets quickly decided to perform rumenotomy surgery and successfully removed more than 20kg (45 pounds) of plastic and garbage from Tingu’s stomach.

The charity wrote in the video: “We rescued a sick street bull who had been living off of garbage his entire life. We knew his stomach was full of plastic and he urgently needed surgery. Our veterinarians surgically removed more than 20 kgs (40 pounds) of plastic and garbage that had been accumulating in his stomach for many years.”

Since the operation was performed a month ago, the video has been seen over one million times.

Animal Aid Unlimited India acts as a rescue-centre, hospital and sanctuary for ownerless street animals in the country.

He's so small and such a sweet face! I didn't know they came that small. All of the cows around here and what I've seen on TV are double his size or larger.

I hope he was placed in a confined area, and not set free on the street again. He's not going to stop his "Junk food" habit.

I hope they used injectable lidocaine on him. In India cows are everywhere and i saw them in the cities eating cardboard.I used to buy 20+ Indian bread at 5cents a piece(big pieces too) and feed the cows while the starving children sat and drooled .I did not feed the children as I do not like people as much as animals/birds.

Also I asked many Indians who owned the cows and they said they were all owned and the owners let them wander the streets to eat.

[reubthadude]

Wow, it was probably wondering why he was having a constant feeling of "full".



Imagine the stench of that "many years" plastic though.
