I'm watching 60 min. on TV right now and they're showing success stories the Heifer organization (gives live animal to third world children) is behind. An African girl was put through school thanks to one goat; she sold the milk and used the money for tuition and material. What breaks my heart, though, is that the goats were tied to a tree with a very thin and only a few inches long rope. And some were in extremely small homemade cages. What kind organization is this? Shipping animals across the globe and let them live in misery before slaughter so that a child can go to school. They also want to give you the impression that animals and humans live very peacefully side by side...After all, children love animals, right? Talking about hypocracy.
I received their catalog for Christmas. It made me really sad to see pictures of a child holding a lamb, looking like best friends...then you know the lamb is going to be slaughtered shortly there after There are many other reptuable organizations to support which do not force you to make a decision between the life of a child and an animal. Why not support both.
