Charity Christmas Gifts - Don't send a cow!
Aid agencies, quick to spot a marketing opportunity, misguidedly promote sending cows, goats, rabbits and chickens to impoverished areas of the world. This is madness!
 |
£11 sends six chickens to an impoverished area where they can heighten the disease risk and severely damage the immediate environment |
 |
£125 provides a pair of goats - animals known to cause desertification, thereby reducing the amount of farmland available to local people |
 |
£750 sends a cow, who will drink up to 90 litres of the villagers' water every single day |
Donate only to charities that help people without harming animals: support HIPPO's pledge to grow an orchard that will feed impoverished people in Kenya.
