IPOH, Aug 17 — Penang-based feeder and rescuer David Yim Boon Leong used to feed stray dogs under his care a big piece of chicken during every meal.
“Previously before the price hike, I would ask the sellers to cut each bird into 12 pieces but now I asked them to cut it into a smaller piece which sometimes can get me 20 pieces for each bird.” Speaking to, Yim said the increase in price not only hit the people, feeders of strays are also affected.
“I have ready cat food in my car. Cats are picky eaters and some refuse to eat kibbles. For those who are choosy with their food, I give them wet food instead.” Besides food for strays, Yim said feeders also need to pay more for veterinarian services. Damansara Perdana Strays Rescue has to be adversely affected by the price increase but they need longer time to raise funds to treat strays. — Picture via Facebook/ Damansara Perdana Strays Rescuesaid they are now more careful when treating rescues.
“Except for chicken feet, we seldom spend on protein such as poultry or chicken innards as we have regular eateries who donate it to us,” she said, noting that the price of chicken feet had also increased slightly. The price increase has come at a bad time for newly established shelter Homeless Paws of Manjung Strays. — Photo via Facebook/ Homeless Paws of Manjung Strays - HPMS, the price increase was a double whammy for them.
