A BRILLIANT new invention by a company called Pugedon is a recycling bin that also helps feed and water stray animals. Wait till you see this in action. What a life-changing and amazing machine.

1. I dunno if I want stray dogs flourishing in urban areas.

[ohheckyeah]

3. It's just so much more pleasant when

they are laying and dying in the streets from thirst and hunger, right?

[Fred Sanders]

4. Of course not, bit of a leap there to divine my intent...no kill shelters?

[ohheckyeah]

6. If they had plenty of those

I imagine they would use them.

[Fred Sanders]

7. Seems like a prosperous and compassionate country.....publicity stunt?

[ohheckyeah]

11. What is it that makes some people

shit all over a nice idea?

[Fred Sanders]

13. The same thing that makes them to leap to judgment of intent I guess.

[eallen]

16. I *know* I don't want stray dogs flourishing. They need to be taken to shelters.

Feral dogs are a nuisance. Sometimes, a dangerous nuisance.

[Duppers]

17. Shelters are full

And are killing critters every day.

This would help keep them alive until they could be taken better care of.

[Tetris_Iguana]

32. Taken care of by whom?

It's a wonderful thought, but not every dog can find a home, especially since many strays are not pet material.

I'm all for helping pets ( I have way too many myself) but I find your post pollyannaish...

[Duppers]

33. then what should we do?

Popularized dog meat, as is done in parts of China?

[Tetris_Iguana]

34. Not much more than we're already doing now.

Although I imagine in the future, feral populations would be taken care of by roving bands of micro drones/ genetically modified Mosquitos that would inject chemical castration chemicals into feral males.

But that's still a bit off....

[Duppers]

38. great idea!

[tosh]

36. Mandate spay-neuter

except for breeders who are willing to purchase a VERY expensive license.

Simple.

[Duppers]

37. +1000

[roody]

40. Spay and neuter!

[onecent]

19. Oh for GODS SAKE.....I guess you'd rather see these boney, lonely, wild

dogs running around. Jesus man FUCKING DEAL WITH IT.

We have alot to be thankfull for in America but LATELY people cannot afford to even take good care of their animals because of our fucking no nonsense republican congress who hates a black president.

When are PEOPLE gonna wake up and get pissed???????????????????

Don't you all want social security AND medicare for your grandchildren....let's begin FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING TOGETHER FOR ONCE.

In my grandchildren's lifetime America is going to look worse than Haiti...I GUARANTEE IT.

2. Bravo! K&R

[ohheckyeah]

5. Where is this? n/t

[Mosby]

9. Turkey

[ohheckyeah]

12. Thanks - I looked up

the company and could get Google to translate the page.

[montanacowboy]

10. looks like it's in Instanbul

150,00 strays share the streets with humans, imagine that

[ohheckyeah]

14. Thanks - I couldn't tell where it was.

That's a lot of strays.

[MoonchildCA]

20. I was there recently.

They are laying all over the place, taking naps in the middle of the walkways and parks. For the most part, they look well fed. They are tagged if they have been confirmed to not be dangerous. Although they are living among all the people, they don't really seem to interact with them much. My husband and I are dog people, and we couldn't get them to give us the time of day.
The cats are the same, except my husband encountered one who let him pet it, and I had one jump into my lap at a restaurant, briefly, until I tried to pet it...

[Bragi]

39. We just got back from Istanbul and agree

Most dogs and cats are not privately "owned" in Turkey, but most people and shops leave food and water out for them.

The end result: community-owned feral animals that are docile and cause few if any problems.

As for the ear tags, we were told the tags indicate they have had shots and been neutered.

[montanacowboy]

8. This is fantastic

where are the American venture capitalists jumping on this? a way for them to create new business and jobs and for animals to be fed.

[ohheckyeah]

15. If dogs had money and

opposable thumbs to insert said money into a machine capitalists might consider it.

[KittyWampus]

31. Four sides of advertising space on one of these stations. Plenty for capitalists to use

for their branding.

[Duppers]

18. heartwarming.

Neuter and spay your pets. Let's help all of them live better lives.

[xfundy]

21. Wish they could do something similar

for people.

[Chan790]

22. There's nothing stopping anybody from watering themselves...

or getting their kibble on from that machine. (That's cynical of me but I can't see the American "haves" giving even that much of a shit as these Turks do for stray dogs.)

[SoCalDem]

23. That is a very humane way to operate a recycling box

Half-full water bottles weigh a lot more than empty ones and cost more to handle & transport, and the dogs & cats are happy to have the water..

Every living creature has basic needs, even ones sometimes scorned by scolds.

[Snotcicles]

25. a win win. nt

[Kablooie]

24. Coyotes in my neighborhood would love this.

[VScott]

27. Rats, racoons, skunks, squirells, possums and mice need to eat too.

Good intentions, but bad idea.

[oldandhappy]

26. I like! A lot!

[eShirl]

28. Teach the dogs to bring it recyclables, helping to clean the area.

They're smart enough, it just needs to be made accessible for them to do so.

[dangin]

29. I love dogs

Where is the footage of the fights? That is a "competition for resource" focal point. Our species is not orderly in that situation.

I want every dog to have a home. My rescue dog is laying at my feet right now.

[genwah]

30. Did anyone see a thread about a raccoon yesterday? Not to mention, we have squirrels, possums, rats

around here. Now if it could keep the damn cats from killing birds, or something...

[eShirl]

35. I get annoyed with headlines like this, though.

wait till you see what this dog is doing!!!!

He's... eating kibble. Yay.
