Everywhere you go in Malaysia, you are bound to see many stray animals wandering around, and they look so pitiful sometimes that you just want to help all of them.
While it’s impossible to help ALL of them, this girl living in Ipoh tried to share some love to the stray dogs she saw around her area.
But as a result of her kind act, she got scolded terribly by a man and his son at the area where she tried to feed the dogs. She posted her plight on the issue and asked for advice on what she should do.

“Today I went to feed the stray dogs again near a food court, but this man who sold baked goods nearby came out just as I was feeding them and started scolding and cursing me.
“He said, “You better don’t come here to feed the dogs anymore! If you weren’t a girl, I would have beaten you up already.” But I wasn’t even feeding them in front of his stall, I did it by the roadside.”
The girl reveals how the man even threatened her.
“His adult son, who is standing behind him also supported his dad and scolded me as well. They kept saying that I did it in front of their stall, but I did not! Many of the food court’s workers can be witnesses, as they can see me feeding the dogs by the road. ”
“I used my own plates or containers to feed them, and not any plates from the food court. Tell me what should I do? I am very sad, I thought that I was just showing the homeless dogs some love but how come the man is like that?”
She also included photos and videos into her post but unfortunately in her haste to record the man, she accidentally pressed the wrong button and the video turned out to be recorded in slow motion.

The netizens advised her not to go alone the next time she wanted to feed the dogs. One of the kind users also said that he would like to accompany her the next time she went there and try to have a calm discussion with the man. Many of them criticised the man and said that he had no compassion for the pitiful homeless animals as well.
The poor doggies! Hopefully the situation can be handled well and the dogs are not harmed!
