Devang Shah shared his disappointment about the vandalism: "It was really beat up, there were shells all over the place, the broom was broken. It was just a mess," reflecting his concern for the pond and its fish.
Local veterinarian Ben Rosenbloom remarked on the conditions of the fish pond, labeling it "animal cruelty" and describing the vandalism as a "tragic but relatively unsurprising result" of its unstable environment and small size.
Hajj Malik Lovick emphasized their commitment despite challenges, stating their plans to improve the pond: "We are determined to continue improving the pond, with plans to install plexiglass, solar panels, and a filtration system to ensure the fish's survival."
While community views on the pond diverge, Lovick's team remains hopeful: "Despite the setbacks, we are pushing forward, even planning a school supplies giveaway" demonstrating their dedication to community engagement.
