1st absolutely awesome!!! however 2nd, build a proper roof covering at the very least the food one otherwise the 1st rain you get, that food dispenser will filled with water & food ruined into soggy mess not even a dog will want to eat :/
We have something of a problem with feral dogs and cats. The fact that the easiest way to trap cats for TNR is to put out food completely escapes the city administration. So does the cruelty of blocking ferals from fresh water in >100° heat.
Some EU states have catch-neuter-release schemes. The animals (dogs and cats) get ear tags or a clipped ear to make sure they are not caught over and over again.
Yeah, I probably should have spelled out TNR - trap, neuter, release. Some local vets will neuter ferals (and notch an ear) for free or for a very low charge. I've sometimes worked with a volunteer group that does TNR locally, and yes, they use food to lure the ferals in.
Shared food/water source is at risk of contamination for many diseases. It makes it way easier for one dog to infect others without ever needing contact between the dogs.
That is not how fluid dynamics or physics more generally work. Every time someone posts these J-shaped waterers, it comes up again, the level of the water inside the "reservoir" is the the same level as the open area. Most likely the same for the food too.
Maybe if it was VERY very narrow that would happen, but even then, as soon as you get a single air bubble sent up the tube the pressure collapses (i.e. the first time a dog drinks from it). On top of all that, how would you get the water INTO that space in the first place while still maintaining a seal?
It's not nearly that sensitive/fragile. I've got a bunch of slopper stopper dog bowls around my house that all work based on the same principle. As long as the top of the reservoir stays sealed, it only lets as much water out as air gets in. To fill it, you just plug the drinking end. It's really not that complicated.
That's not at all how that works. Assuming a perfect seal, any air bubble would let water out of the reservoir the size of the air bubble. It being "very narrow" is completely irrelevant.
Cap the bottom part, open the top part, pour water in, cap the top part, open the bottom part. As long as the top stays capped, any bubble passing through means water flows into the bottom part keeping it level with the bend until all gone.
No, as long as the top part is sealed no air can flow in, unless and until the water level in the front part is below the bend, and air bubbles can pass through. Find a bendy straw and try it out

Whoever coded that sparkly filter need a good punch in the face.

Wouldn't the first dog that came along just eat all of it?
medimr
Probably. But since they wouldn't actually work as dispensers, you'd be constantly refilling them anyway.

That filter effect in the beginning legit had me thinking he was making popcorn and he just poured kernels into those pipes.

There appears to be a LOT of radiation in that area

It's actually illegal to do this in my town — not that anybody follows that stupid rule.

Disobedience to shit laws is a moral imperative.

Why?
DePhyler
In my area it's not allowed because of mice. A free food source increased the population exponentially.

It's a great way to spread rabies.
CallMeCourierSix
Rabies will spread whether you provide food/water or not. This is a stupid argument.

EVERY FOOD AND WATER SOURCE IS SHARED AMONG STRAYS! JFC! Adding some feeding and watering stations won't change that!
sakm
That is not how fluid dynamics or physics more generally work. Every time someone posts these J-shaped waterers, it comes up again, the level of the water inside the "reservoir" is the the same level as the open area. Most likely the same for the food too.
Skuggen
sakm
Both ends are closed, making them in pressure equilibrium. Not the same equation.
vorodar
We have the tech to do these. It should be easy to implement the same J shaped tube.
Randomice
As long as the top stays sealed, it will keep the water in the long part until the level in the front part comes below the bend.

You ain’t tricking me! That’s my seal I maintain, you can’t have her!

That only works with a regulator that controls outflow. This has no such thing.
