Here are some reactions:
One user wrote, “It’s amazing how a simple act of recycling can make such a big difference in the lives of these animals. Imagine if every city adopted this approach—what a difference we could make!”
Another user, Swayambhu Soham, said, “Are you serious, sir? This is amazing and a great solution for plastic waste as well as to control the dog population. Feeding helps us to build trust & to neuter dogs. Individual rescuers can neuter the dogs at a faster pace. If you are serious, we can do it.”
A third commenter noted, “Wonderful thought and great idea re the vending machine – takes care of issues!”
Another person remarked, “This is just awesome. They belong to the city or place like any other human being. Humans creating nuisances—no one is bothered—but when it comes to animals, everyone has to say something negative. Shelters are for sick and disabled dogs, not for healthy ones. I am in.”
