The individual recording the video alleged that feeding stray animals in the area had caused inconvenience to nearby businesses and claimed the animals often remained there after being fed.
The man in blue defended his actions, saying the dogs were hungry and pointing out that one of the strays appeared injured.
The exchange later became heated after the eatery owner allegedly told him to feed the animals elsewhere, while the man replied that the dogs were also “God’s creatures” and deserved food.
The video drew mixed reactions online, with many users praising the man for helping the stray animals while others raised concerns over cleanliness and the growing number of strays in commercial areas.
