Viral Video Sparks Debate Over Pet Etiquette in Philippine Restaurants
A recent video circulating online has sparked a heated debate regarding pet etiquette in public dining establishments in the Philippines. The short clip, uploaded by user 'gela' (@kill3r_smil3), shows a Pomeranian dog seated in a high chair, typically reserved for infants, inside what appears to be a Jollibee restaurant. The video also highlights a glass seemingly used by the pet. The author's text overlays and accompanying description express strong concerns about public hygiene and potential health risks. 'What if allergy yung uupo na bata sa high chair?' one overlay reads, while another questions, 'what if may rabies yung aso then hindi nahugasan ng maayos ng dishwasher paano na'. The author further criticized pet owners for not using dedicated pet accessories, such as portable water bottles, for their animals in public. The video quickly garnered over 73,000 views and more than 1,200 comments, reflecting a divided public opinion. Many commenters echoed the author's concerns, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness and the safety of children, particularly those with allergies. One user stated, 'high chair is intended sa mga bata hindi sa aso. PERIOD!' Another parent commented, 'As a MOMMY and a FURMOM: I will never ever ever let my dogs sit/use things that were made for babies. SOBRANG SENSITIVE NG MGA BABY.' Conversely, some commenters suggested that restaurant staff are responsible for sanitizing chairs and that individual patrons should also take precautions. Others questioned the severity of the issue or the need for such public shaming. The incident underscores the ongoing discussion about balancing pet-friendly policies with public health standards in shared spaces.
