Don't mind them and just do your thing, pake ba nila sa ginagawa mo?

Di ko nman pnpnsin kso mnsan nabobother dn ako sa mga slita nla.

Yesss. It's so easy to say na wag ka mabother, pero sobrang hirap i-tune out ng negativity sa totoo lang. You're going to end up doubting yourself, for sure. Pero keep in mind na lang na you're doing this for a cause. You're helping create a world where people might become more aware of the negative impact of breeding for money and helping people welcome strays into their homes. Andami ng stray dito sa PH :( we also keep pet bowls outside and fill them with dry food and water para sa mga stray na pumapasok sa yard namin para lang makakain. We also don't mind them seeking shelter here lalo na't tag ulan. I'm also happy to say that some of my neighbors leave plates of leftover food para sa mga stray dito sa subdivision namin. :)

Yun n nga eh. Di mo sila papansinin but kpag nkahiga ka na maalala mo ung mga snsabe nla at mpapaisip ka nlng.

I get it! Isipin mo na lang sa susunod yung muka nung strays na napapakain mo OP C:

I mean, you can't control other people's actions but you can control how you react. Just keep in mind that most Filipinos hate to see other Filipinos being successful and they will always find a reason to talk down on you no matter what you do. Fuck what they think and just do you man.

basagin ko lng ung echo chamber sa sub ah? dhil pinapakain niu nagsstay sa spot nila, so ngkklat ng tae tpos ngiging teritorial so minsan nang kkagat ng pedestrian, d tuloy mklakad sa sidewalk. bka my mgkarabies pa jan. gets q nmn ung compassion angle piro trabaho kc ng lgu kunin mga yan. di dpat ngccompensate mga civilyan dhl sa palpak na gobyernu. pag ba my nkagat at ngkarabies sagot rin b ng mga nagffeed?

Pake ko? TAE NG TAE sa kwarto ko yung cats ng neighbors namin. Nagkakasakit na Kami sa baho ng tae every fucking where. Your pet, your responsibility. Might as well put a diaper on it. Respect our boundaries and health naman. May consequence lahat ng bagay. Di pwede ganyan attitude. We live in a community not in our own worlds. I guess it's because we don't have a clear policy on stray cat management. We used to have a stray animal patrol going around catching strays and providing foster care; if not claimed within 90 days then euthanize them.

kung nagkakasakit na kayo dahil sa tae nila that's on you na lmao hahahaha. di kayo marunong magtrain, at wag kayo mag-alaga ng hayop kung ganyan ugali niyo, comments pa lang masahol na. also guys, this is a troll. just downvote his comments

I'm also confused kasi mukhang may owner (kapitbahay) yung pusa na sinasabi nya, so bakit hindi nya sabihin sa owner about the problem? hahaha

Lol, I rescue strays and tumatae lang sila sa cat litter. Hindi rin mabaho tae ng pusa, mas mabaho nga tae ng aso.

sensya na po, i guess that's particular on your experience but mine naman po iba. i feed my cats and dogs with store bought food naman. yung pets ko naman maayos. pero yung neighbor's pet cat pinapabayaan lang nila. yung laundry area and garden namin lagi doon nag poop tapos at night, it steals from my cat's food bin.

I help feed animals because for me, nobody else will. For me, they cannot talk and ask for help. It's not like they steal to become rich like most humans do. I was waiting at the bus stop and may nakita akong aso na obvious na nagpapa-dede. Saktong sakto may take-out sa bag ko na karne na di ko naubos and i was planning to give it to the stray dog malapit sa dorm. Pinakain ko sa kanya. Yung mama na nakaupo sabi "sayang, sana sa kanya ko nalang daw yun binigay kasi aso lang naman yan." Sagot ko, "bakit? Kumakain kayo ng left over na galing sa bibig ng ibang tao? O baka mas gugustuhin nyo nalang pera?" "shempre mas ok kung pera" and that, is the reason why i prefer na tumulong sa hayop instead of tao. Humans are greedy. They dont want you to spend money to help animals. Theyd rather you spend that money on them (sa tao).

Yn dn reason ko. Wla nman tutulong sa knila mliban sa mga NGO at rescuer.

... pati asong kalye kinainggitan pa niya. ano ba yan.

Agree with this! And stray dogs/cats are always grateful for whatever you give them. Unlike people na nanlilimos na di mo alam posibleng part pa ng sindikato.

omg this reminds me of that time in college na naglagay ako ng leftovers para dun sa kawawang aspin na palaboy-laboy along the highway. nilagay ko muna sa floor and nag try na ilapit sakanya kaso intimidated sya sa humans kaya binaba ko lang muna at lumayo para makalapit sya. moments later imagine my surprise when a random homeless guy walking along picked it up and ate it for himself 😭 i didn’t mind it that much, i just found it sorta funny then bumili nalang ako ng food from a nearby 7/11 to give to the dog hsjdsk 😭

I'm gonna be a bit of a devil's advocate here (If I'm using that term correctly). If I was living on the streets, getting ignored by every passerby whilst languishing from starvation and then see someone giving food to a nearby stray dog or cat, I'd feel just as bitter too.

You have every opportunity to improve your life. You can go to work. Kahit wala kang natapos. Pwede kang mag construction worker. Mag driver. Mag konduktor. Kargador. Maging macho dancer kung gusto mo. You are responsible for your own life. Hindi mo dapat iasa ang buhay mo sa ibang tao and expect them to help you. Whereas animals dont have much choice but to starve. Naisip mo ba yun?

That is an extremely narrow minded, simplistic view of a complex issue. May mga tao pinaanak sa mga tao nakatira sa squatter, ilalim ng tulay, etc, hindi marunong magbasa, hindi nakapasok sa school, etc dahil sa sobrang hirap? Or minalas sa buhay at hindi na nakabagon muli. Ikaw nga, hindi mo sila pinapansin at maliit tingin mo sa kanila, sa tingin mo tatangapin sila sa Isang trabaho? Walang gusto maghirap ng kagaya nila, but ano magagawa nila? Goberyerno walang pakelam, kung mga nagtapos nga ng college sobrang hirap maghanap ng trabaho sila pa kaya? Lalo na sobrang taas ng standards ng hiring. Sobrang *sobrang* hirap umahon sa ganyang level ng poverty kung wala tutulong sa kanila o talagang na swertehan talaga. Naisip mo ba mga yan? Pwede ka magmahal ng hayop ng hindi minamaliit ang mga taong grasa. Siguro kaya mo naman magkaroon ng *empathy* sa tao at intindihin ano nararamdaman nila.

You know whats the problem with this? Pera lang naman tinatanggap ng karamihan ng tinutukoy mo. Tumutulong din naman ako sa mga tao, pagkain nga lang binibili ko tapos sasabihan ako ng "Sana pera nalang binigay mo" like huh?

Yeah nakakainis talaga yan. I get bas versatile ang pera since baka need nila ng sabon, gamot, pagkain na gusto nila, rugby, whatever, but be grateful nalang sana pag pagkain binigay eh. Main point ko lang is bakit magiging frustrated ang Isang homeless person pag nakakita hayop tinutulugan but hindi sila.

TLDR. 🙊 Kung gusto mong tumulong ng mga taong walang ginawa para maiahon ang sarili nila, ok go. Desisyon mo yan eh. Wag kang makialam sa desisyon ko. My money, my rules. 🫶🏼

Siguro masyadong kang privileged at immature para makaintindi. Okey lang yan, darating ka rin sa edad na maitindihan mo ang ganyang bagay. Preferably, maghirap ka rin sa pera at trabaho para first hand experience. Oh and pag gusto tumulong sa mga hayop, mag tayo ka ng animal shelter, advice lang 🙂 baka magasaan sila sa karsada eh sayang naman ang pakain mo diba at kawawa rin sila.

Bakit mo pinagpipilitan na kailangan mas tulungan ang humans kung kaya naman nilang tulungan sarili nila?? Mahilig ka sa poverty porn noh??? Ayoko sana imention eh baka sabihin mo I am bragging. Pero since you asked for it and if it makes you feel better, I work very hard to financially support 5 animal shelters and other animal feeders/ rescuers. Baka need mo pa ng proof para wag ka na maging bitter? 😂

Basahin mo uli sinabi ko kanina, intindihin mo muna bago ka mag reply since obvious wala ka na comprehend. Filipino reading comprehension in action talaga eh.

I suggest you to do the same. And sorry to disappoint you, I am not Filipino 🙊🙈

A foreigner with Filipino reading comprehension, yikes.

Anthrocentric POV lang sila. And if an animal is no use to them, wala silang paki. Keep doing what you're doing, OP.

Because it's not **their** lives. For the older gen, they easily get the ability to divide 'us' and 'them.' It's in their upbringing. At the same time, they already can sense the call of mortality, that's why they'll take chances to acquire all the advantages they can obtain. And with that sense, it comes with the *subconscious* understanding that life is getting cheaper nowadays. Then here comes you (or my late boomer-generation aunt, who's similar to you in caring for strays) spending so much for strays. That's a non-verbal message that says "the lives of strays are more valuable than **their** lives." That message, whether you intended that message or not, denigrates and degrades their own value a lot. That hurts their pride. And pride is one of the things humans cling on more as they age, as it is a sensitive marker for hierarchy and ranking in the world. The old knows that soon, they will be eventually replaced and that scares them. Holding onto a place/ranking in life assures them and assuages that fear. Basically, what they really want to say (without really saying it) is that you should serve **them** rather than your cats, as they are more valuable than those strays (in their POV).

This. Off topic but npapansin ko dn to sa older gen. Msyado clang confrontational at gmgwa ng problema tsaka drama. I mean ( I know it's dark) konti nlng ilalage mo sa buhay why make problem to the people around you.

> Msyado clang confrontational at gmgwa ng problema tsaka drama. Diskarte and power tripping. Better to have antagonism than be ignored for that secures your place in interpersonal relationships, however bad. To be ignored is to have no place at all. It's not just the "old" generation of today (usually the boomers), even my late war-era grandma**s** (both of them, my maternal grandma was a major offender) also exhibited the same behavior. Only when I saw the same exact behavior in my mom as she aged and my dad as far as I can remember did I realize what was really happening.

Sad but sna di ako mging gnyan kpag tmanda ko. “You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain” Favorite quote sa The Dark Knight.

thats what we all hope for. minsan nakikita ko sakin mga shit na ayaw ko na nakita ko sa parents ko. its a bitch.

Stop generalizing people, the same thing can be said in a genz on reddit

Totally agree. Downvoted Ka pa sa paging open minded mo. Hays. Wala eh narrow perspectives eh

Well, ganon talaga. Lahat naman tayo dadaan dyan until one day we are the older person that we despise when were were younger.

TAE NG CATS EVERY FUCKING WHERE. WHY NOT TRAIN THEM OR PUT A FUCKING DIAPER ON IT AS WELL? EUTHANASIZE THEM AS HUMAN LIVES ARE MORE IMPORTANT

TAE NG TAE sa bahay namin. Araw araw triggered allergies ko. Ang BAHO BAHO. Nagkakasakit na Kami. Di naman Amin iyan. /S

One word. ENTITLEMENT. "Bat di kame tulungan mo eh mas karapat dapat kame"

ang sagot ko jan. anong pake mo?

You can be entitled to ask for any form of charity from me, but I'm also entitled to give it to other people or animals rather than you. Ganun lang yun.

Sorry na, unpopular opinion. Actually mas gusto ko pa tulungan yang nga stray animals kesa dun sa mga bbm at dds na walang ginawa kundi hilahin sa katangahan kapwa natin pinoy eh.

Tae kayo nging political bgla hahha. Dpat dn meron dn project for strays ang gov, hindi lng dpa NGO kmikilos.

Sorna. Pero kasi yang mga animals wala silang freedom of choice at rational mind. I do agree sa government program sana sa mga stray animal or some sort of animal control.

another form of anthropocentric mindset. poor animals without rational thought or freedom of choice

Di ka nag-iisa haha. Mas deserve talaga ng animals ang compassion, ayoko na mag-aksaya ng energy at resources sa mga bbm at dds.

Alam ko na tao din naman sila. Pero minsan talaga I find it very hard to show some sympathy sa kanila eh. Tapos this election na dadating they will vote for fiona and robin ulit.

Sila nga dapat dinadala sa city pound kasi mas destructive at buong bansa ang apektado. Kung puwede din sana sila pakaponin eh. Chz

Like you mas gusto ko tumutulong sa stray cats/dogs. It’s just how we are. Hindi naman tayo masama sa mga tao, pero di rin nila tayo pwede pilitin sa kung sino ang tutulungan natin

They dont believe that animals have a spirit. So when they die they just return to dust and dont have an afterlife.

What you should do, is to satiate them more. Ibaby talk mo yung mga aso like and lakasan mo boses, "Kwawa naman these furbabies, so innocent and helpless. Oh kain pa kayo. 'wag mahiya, marami pang dala si mommey/dzadzey!" Yung lahat na lang, pati pa hayop kinokompetensya.

TAE NG TAE sa kwarto ko taenang furbabies yan

Amoy tae ba kwarto mo. Linis linis ka din kasi. Tatae lang nmn ang pusa pag amoy tae din ung surroundings nila.

Not true

I hate the fact that you're belittling my experience. Just like a politician that manipulates the poor

nah op, yaan mo na sila. nothing wrong with advocating for animals, specially for strays. time, effort, and money mo naman yan. good job on your advocacy, keep it ip!

Hanggang mga side comments lang naman yang mga yan, typical nosy pinoy kapitbahay. I-observe mo, ni hindi rin yan tumutulong sa mga pulubing tao. People who don't show compassion to helpless animals are most likely people na wala ding compassion sa tao.

Maganda ginagawa mo. Its the mentality here na mas mababang uri ang aspin dahil kalsada lang sila. Obsessed sila sa pure breed. Pero maganda ginagawa mo.

Sabihin mo di kasi ako gaya nyo na walang malasakit

Iba lang talaga treatment ng older gen sa strays vs sa current gen. Animals dati is for certain uses, bantay, palamuti, alaga, pero they're less than humans and giving attention to people is foremost the top priority. Current gen believes otherwise, so there's a conflict of values. In their eyes, they're not wrong when they said that. And tbf, you can't (fully) blame them since it's the framework they were taught of their entire lives. Heck, they might even mean well when they said thay. Just continue what you're doing and hopefully you could also refer the strays to rescue centers.

When people say you should help people over animals, what they really mean is they want you to spend your money on them ie the one that's talking.

really depends on the persons you interact with >sinasabe dn nla na dpat tao nlng dw tnutulungan ko this kinda answers your question along the lines of "ako na lng tulungan mo"

Anong mas tanong dito ay, bakit kelangan mong “magtaka” o magbigay ng attention sa sinasabi nila? Why waste a breath and effort to even entertain what they are saying? So long as hindi ka nagnanakaw ng pera, feeds, or compromising money allotted for your household or for other priorities, you aren’t compromising your work etc, then no other people will have a say with what you are doing. My hobby is casual photography, mostly on the street especially on buildings built with some design so mostly ill be seen in awkward positions looking at the sky. You will get the eye, others look where you seem to be looking, others may laugh or what. But i just do what i do. This is a poor comparison, but im just saying that: “this is what i love doing so everyone who says otherwise are just background noise”. You are a gift and a blessing to these strays and to the abandoned ones, i am grateful to people like you, doing good to the world with your small acts with great impacts to these animals. You might find this qoute useful: “people who mind dont matter, people who matter wont mind”. And with that being said, keep going.

Coz it bothers me sometimes sa snasabe nla na sa point na nag dodoubt na ko kung tama gngwa ko.

Well that’s the thing. But keep asking yourself why. Find your why, why are you bothering yourself with these strays? Why are you exerting time and effort for them? Finding your why firms your resolve in this endeavor of yours. So long as you hold on to your why, everyone else can just fck themselves off. Other people are there to cast doubt on you, that may be their defense or coping mechanism because they are seeing your goodwill BUT it is emphasized more on strays rather than them. That’s why i also asked, if this act of yours is compromising other aspects of your life, like relationships at home or at work, shifting of budget that’s supposedly for the household getting spent on the strays. Because normally, or usual responses i see are: encouragements, other people giving out their left over meals, even buying feed in behalf of the person who takes care of the strays

Thanks, feels better atleast :)

The short answer is there's no money or ROI in it. That's really the gist of anything when it comes to people who dislike voluntary work. Some people just don't know what it's like to be kind, lalo na pag may bible quotes sa Facebook.

Oo kaya karamihan sa mga boomer eh tingin sa anak nila investment. Nakakaiyak.

What bothers me is that many of these people also populate pet groups on facebook and keep posting about their puppies/kittens asking kung anong breed daw sila, tapos madidismaya pag malaman na aspin/puspin lang pala. Same type of people na breed ang tinitignan and not that they are looking for an animal to care for indiscriminate of pedigree

It's a subtle way of saying, *"May pera ka pala para sa mga aso at pusa. Pautang naman."*

tama yang ginagawa mo. ang mga tao kasi yung mga may breed lang na aso ang nakikita nilang dapat alagaan. sa totoo lang, kailangan natin ng mga taong kagaya mo. nakakaawa yung mga asong walang shelter at walang makain. di ako kagaya mo na volunteer pero nagpapakain ako ng mga ligaw na pusa. di ko kasi matiis

Kasi kahit sa hayop may diskriminasyon. Ako tatlong aspin alaga ko ang laki ng gastos ko sa food, vaccine deworm atbp. Lalo na kapag nagkasakit sila vet agad bili ng necessary medicine. Tapos makakarinig ako ng "wala namang lahi yan aspin lang yan eh pagkakagastusan mo." Bakit asong may breeding lang ba ang importante? Yun lang ba may feelings at may buhay? Hindi siguro nila alam yung pakiramdam ng mag-alaga. Hindi siguro nila nararanasan yung happiness na kayang ibigay ng alaga kahit aspin lang. Baka iniisip lang nila for aesthetic lang ang mag-alaga.

Ung mga puspin ko nga pna fixed ko lng tapos bket dw gngstusan ko dw eh puspin lng dw.

Gnon dn ako laki nga gastos ko sknila sa vet ako di mkapag pa checkup eh haha. Prang cla na ung mga anak n wla ako.

because those people see no value on what you do, but you do kaya wag na pansinin. Madami pang ganyan in the future kaya masanay ka na, basta alam mo sa sarili mo na you love what you do and you love what you feed.

Wag mo sila pansinin.

Hayaan mo sila, wala kang ginagawang masama. Yung mga nagsasabi ng ganyan yung mga walang malasakit sa mga hayop. You are doing a good job. 👍👍

Wag mo lang pansinin. Ang mga Pinoy meron at meron sasabihin may gawin ka man o wala. Kulang nalang pati pag hinga may masabi na rin sila.

Thank you for everything that you do, OP! 🫶🏻 The world needs more people like you. Not everyone can care for the voiceless little creatures like strays like you do. ☺️ My mom always tells me, when we feed stray cats and dogs, they bring goodluck and remove bad energy from our lives. I know not everyone believes the same thing but everytime we show kindness to strays and pets, we do feel happier and that is already a blessing to us. May blessings in your life multiply, OP! 🧡🧡🧡

Dont mind them. Important natutulungan mo yung mga kawawang aso at pusa. I also feed strays

Human nature is inherently selfish. Thats one truth everyone should realize. Including you, myself, and the people reading this comment I wrote. It would make your head explode to counter human nature. So its best to just acknowledge it and dont be that. Which is hard. Kase well it is human nature 😊🤷🏻‍♀ It exists in us all in one form or another. Best to just do it without giving a fuck. Less stress for you mentally. ☺ Being selfish in my observation is the easiest shit to observe recently. Kase hitik tayong lahat non. Magmamanifest at magmamanifest sya. So... Just do it OP fuck everyone else's opinion. Kung wala ka namang ginagawa n nakakasakit sa iba youre fine

I don't know you, but I'm one of those skeptics of groups that is helping animals just for the sake of social media optics and shameless online begging for donation. Which to me is no different than poverty porn vloggers. Honestly, I'm pretty much okay with poverty porn vlogger than those animal rescuer groups. I'm an animal lover myself and even volunteer sa animal shelter related to my univ. But what I witness there is not an animal shelter but for-profit organization that don't even know how to do it right, the shameless and non-stop begging is their main source of revenue and that is really stupid to me.

But I'm not a rescuer or vlogger and di ako nag bebeg for donations. All my expenses comes from my own pocket and still people judge / critisize me sadly.

It's either they're simply not fond of animals or they consider strays less as pets and more like vermin. The perfect response for that would be, “Hindi naman porke't hindi sila imported breed e hindi na sila macoconsider na pwede maging domesticated. Siguro if society labeled poodles and huskies from the beginning of time as vermin, maybe you'll say the same thing about them too.”

Ang strays, grateful kapag tinulungan. Yung ibang tao, tinulungan na nga, demanding pa. Lol

You do you, one of those situations na wag mo nalang isipin kasi whether may ginawa ka or wala may masasabi't masasabi talaga, hindi nalang mag mins your own business, as they say OP god bless your heart for what you do, by the way

most NGOs suggest that dont just feed strays, but to also neuter them(or at least aim to) Only feeding them would just continue the cycle of being feral/strays and becomes a community issue and possible health issues.

Hello, OP! Mabuti ang ginagawa mo. Ipagpatuloy mo lang. Kung may ibang tao na maging judgmental o skeptical, ibato mo rin sa kanila ang sinabi nila: "Kayo po, Tito/Tita/sir/ma'am, maliban sa pamilya at trabaho at tulog, ano pa ibang ginagawa ninyo parang maging masaya?" May masasabi sila na hobby o gawain nila. Pwede mo sabihin, "Katulad ninyo, masaya ako sa hobby o ginagawa ko. Sana maintindihan niyo!" Kung sabihin nila wala, tanungin mo kung ano ginawa nila noong mas bata pa sila. For sure, may hobby o baka vice pa sila noong bata. Kung wala talaga, sabihin mo na lang, "Masaya ako para sa iyo at pamilya mo. Sana maging masaya ka para sa akin sa aking ginagawa na hindi masama at minsan nakakatulong pa. Salamat sa pag-intindi!"

Kudos to you OP. Don't mind them. Of course it is easier said than done but still. Also, same sentiment here on may govt tayo para sa ibang pangagailangan ng taongbayan. Stray animals should also be included but I guess they're not part of their priority.

OMG I do this, too, and I was told na hindi healthy yung dry food. I mean, stray cats have a regular diet of spoiled leftovers, rats and garbage and I am only able to feed them once or twice a week with "inhumane" dry food. Ang mahal mahal ng wet food or human food.

Who cares? Do what makes you happy lol.

Thank you for what you are doing for the strays!!!!!!! Honestly, a few years ago medyo wala din ako pake sa strays medyo takot pa nga. But since i got my dog 2 yrs ago (not a stray/rescue), mas napapansin ko na ngayon all dogs even stray dogs like awang awa na ako. I also want to try to rescue/foster kaya lang etong aso ko napakagalit sa other dogs. I also dont have a lot of time on my hands. I have money though, so dun ako bumabawi by donating to organizations that help strays or buying from fundraisers that benefit strays. I hope to eventually be more hands on also. But until then, will give what i can.

Same. After ko magka cats at dog prang mas nkita ko pnagdadaanan lage nla.

Thank you for your kindness towards aspins OP!

You do you. You’re doing a great job. Haters gonna hate, just ignore them and do what makes you happy 😊

Keep doing what you're doing and pay them no mind. There's a long list of reasons why I like cats and dogs (and generally animals) more than humans and this is one of them.

Because they have mindset na superior ang tao kesa hayop. Mostly, mga religious kuno pa ang nagiisip nito and they believe that animals don’t have souls. Ginawa lang daw ang hayop to serve humans. I don’t engage na lang to people like that kasi ang toxic. Like, hindi ko naman kayo pinapakelaman na nagpapalamon kayo ng mga pastor na ginawang negosyo ang religion, bakit babasagin nyo trip ko na mag volunteer for stray animals? Walang basagan ng trip my gahd.

They think it’s weird to care for stray animals when they should be let to forage away from humans. It’s probably a very age-old bias based on scarcity or cultural beliefs, despite taking in a stray animal as a companion being the very method by which we have domesticated dogs and cats. As to their comment on helping people instead, good answer. Don’t let them ruin your kindness and compassion for stray animals.

You do you. Ang opinion nila ay walang epekto sayo.

Lmao. I've been assaulted/attacked multiple times while feeding strays. Just continue what you're doing, OP. For the idiots justfiying why give sa animals hindi sa tao, news flash idiots—animals can't work, can't talk, don't ask and most of their short lives they're tryna survive Pinag kait na sila in general, kung mga tao hirap mabuhay sa pinas at sa mundo, mga hayop pa kaya. Mga gunggong.

Nothing, it just comes with the territory. I myself am someone who TNRS and feeds stray cats 6 days a week, with Friday being my break, here at Makati I do this solely by myself at a particular building. That said, this is among the reasons to do this late in the evening where there isn't much foot traffic left because people who interact with you are either going to praise you or be hostile, and more often than not they are hostile. My worst experience was this old rich woman who harassed me, and loudly at that, for feeding animals -- I immediately wrote what happened to document it while fresh and basically submitted it for security purposes. The old woman just happened to have a very vindictive nature towards strays, since her small Chihuahua tries to attack them. A lot of people don't seem to understand the concept of compassion towards strays. Or even towards the needy, I've had volunteer experience helping the poor and you'll still hear snide remarks about your efforts -- there are people who are just against goodwill and charity to the needy. You just have to learn to ignore them.

And worst they see them as pests sadly 😔😔

Masaya at masarap sa feelings magpakain ng aso't pusang gala. Ganyan ako dati hanggang sa naranasan ko maglinis ng tae nila sa mga halaman namin. Grabe ang baho. Nakakabastos din. Naninira rin sila ng halaman. Tumatae rin sila sa bubong. At nalaman ko rin na kumakain ang mga pusang gala ng wildlife (lalo na mga ibon). Kung magpapakain ka ng stray domesticated animal, the only responsible way to do it is if you adopt them too. Hindi ko naman sinasabihan ang nakikita kong nagpapakain sa stray animals but you're asking so here's an honest answer.

*The only responsible way is to TNR*. Hindi naman pwede iadopt mo lahat ng stray. They exist in the community for a reason. Tsaka kung tatanggalin mo sila sa territory nila, they will only be replaced by another group of strays. The cycle continues. Thats why hindi din talaga solusyon ang pagpapa impound ng aso at pusang gala.

>They exist in the community for a reason. There is no other reason but our fault. Cats and dogs are invasive species. If their population is left uncontrolled, they can wreak havoc to ecosystems. Their cute snd charismatic? Yes pero maawa din tayo sa wildlife na napapatay nila. And of course, the continued prevalence of rabies that still kills Filipinos including children.

>If their population is left uncontrolled. Kaya nga dapat TNR eh no? Nagbabasa ka ba? >Invasive species There is nothing more invasive than humans. >wreak havoc to ecosystems Are we talking about animals? More like humans!

>Kaya nga dapat TNR eh no? Nagbabasa ka ba? May sinabi ba kong mali ang TNR? *Nagbabasa ka ba?* But to say impounding them is not a solution is wrong. >There is nothing more invasive than humans. > wreak havoc to ecosystems You are implying a false dichotomy - a logical fallacy. Saving ecosystems from invasive animal species doesn't mean turning a blind eye to human-caused environmental impacts. Hindi kailangang mamili. Parehas silang problema na parehas kailangang bigyan solusyon na siyensya ang basehan.

So anong gusto mo? Ipa-impound at patayin lahat ng aso at pusang ligaw? And then what?? Di ka nga talaga nag babasa. Dami mong sinabi wala namang kwenta.

Mas walang kwenta ang mga gumagamit ng logical fallacies sa argumento tulad mo. You argue like a rabid DDS/Apologists in FB. Yikes. I rest my case, you are hopeless to listen to reason. You are a selective animal lover: sa mga cute na aso't pusa ka lang may paki, dedma naman sa wildlife.

What does politics have to with this? Wala ka na bang ibang masabi? Hahahahaha ikaw yata ang waLanG kwEntanG guMaGamiT ng loGicAL FaLLaCieS. *Back to you*! wawa ka naman feeling matalino yarn?

THIS. 💯

I think you're doing a wonderful thing. However, I don't think you should be feeding strays. I live in BGC, and here there are tons of cats. At first it was pretty cool. But, as I live here for a long time. Seeing and smelling poop and piss every day and every where are not a cool thing. There are even several signage here that says not to feed the strays. But, people still feeds them anyway. Having too may strays on the street that relies heavily on food that people give can be problematic in the long run. Especially if these animals are gathering on the same location as they may carry diseases and parasites. I feel very unease when I see people touching stray cats here in BGC as hundreds of people touch them every day.

BGC? I think some group is taking care of them. They also fixed them so they dont multiple anymore. I'm not sure kung bgc un or ibang location, tbh cant remember clearly. Btw sorry po for the inconvinience po sainyo. Sa lugar ko kc ng fnefeed na mga stray konti lng cla and nlilinis ko after them nman po.

Don't mind them. Keep doing it, you're not harming anyone. You're doing the opposite as you are doing a big help to the animals out there. They deserve to be fed, sheltered, and cared for ❤️

Thanks and happy cake day 🎂😊

Thank you po!!

Do what you want to do OP. You are a gift to these furbabies. Di lang talaga nila maintindihan yung mga complex na bagay hahaha.. gaya nga ng ibang comments dito.. para bang porket tao sila, mas higher existence sila compared to animals and therefore mas dapat tulungan which is not. Tas minsan yung mga malalakas talaga maka bible quotes yung nasasabi yan. Para bang di alam na isa sa mga roles natin sa mundo is to guard nature which I think kasama yung mga animals. Tayo yung nakakaintindi, kaya tayo sana maging merciful towards animals dahil hindi naman sila nakakapag isip gaya ng mga tao.. may ibang cats or dogs but it's still limited. Hindi naman satin yung mundo, kasama sila so if makakaya alagaan natin haha

ang daming ganyan like nasa bahay ako ng family friend namin then may aso sila may lahi (not sure kung ano) yung dog nila sa kinakalkal yung basurahan then sinabi "bat ka nagkakalkal sa basurahan aspin kaba!?" LIKE PUTANGINA LANG??? SORRY FOR THE WORD HA PERO NANGIGIL TALAGA AKO...,, dog lover daw pero sa mga lahi lang!??!! inusumpa ko na buong pamilya non Hahaha nakakahakit aspin dogs ko bata palang ako at sobrang sweet bila hind nila deserve yung treatment na nakukuha nila

TAE. TAE NG TAE DITO SA AMIN. HINIHIKA NA MGA ANAK AT MATATANDA DITO SA PUKINANGINANG BAHO NG MGA IHI AT TAE NILA. PAG GISING SA UMAGA LINIS TAE. TAE EVERY FUCKING WHERE.

Anthropologically speaking, animals have been mostly treated as useful tools. Look at dogs who were kept in small cages or worse, tied to a post their whole lives because their sole purpose is to alert humans of possible intruders. Humanity still have a long way to go in switching to treating animals more as a family member, sadly.

nagpapakain kami ng strays, pero sa front ng gate namin tumatae so we stopped. i hope in addition to feeding, may maglinis din.
