Closed to 60 people sacrificed their Sunday leisure and turned up to share their views on how to handle strays in Ipoh during a forum on strays organized by Ipoh City Watch. It was held on 25 Jan 2015 at 3pm at the SK La Salle School in Ipoh Garden. This is the second back-to-back forum by ICW this year after a successful forum on GST held a day earlier.
Most of the participants who attended the forum were from several animal loving NGOs such as Noah's Ark Ipoh, Fur Kid's Shoulder, Kiko Food Bank, Ipoh Companion Rescuer, KJAS Ipoh, and many individuals who were independent rescuers.
The speakers include Dr. Jean Teoh, a private veterinary doctor and Mr. Victor Chew, the ICW Hon. Secretary, who is also an activist and animal lover. Two other invited speakers from Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh and the State Vet Dept did not turn up unfortunately.
Many issues have been raised during the 2.5 hours forum and these were compiled for submission to the relevant authorities. Another roundtable talk will be organized within 60 days as a follow up to this forum to find solutions to the many problems faced by Ipohites.
