The mood conveyed by both the article and the video descriptions is most likely "sympathy." The article discusses the plight of stray animals and the lack of compassion they face, while the video shows both caring actions (feeding a stray cat) and dismissive actions (shooing the cat away), highlighting a growing problem that evokes sympathy for the strays.
