Here in the Appalachian Region of the US Heifer Int. makes a difference.

While Heifer’s dedication is admirable, they tend to ignore in typical Caucasian-centric fashion that the majority of the world is lactose intolerant: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3833/is_200007/ai_n8910221/

Also, the idea of introducing new, non-native animals and plants into ecosystems that are already rather fragile should alarm any student of environmental science.

Finally, Heifer is promoting a Western-style diet rich in fats and protein, which is perhaps not suited for every poor person in the world.

I’m all right with donating a dollar (for a grand total of $60 for this site, which makes that cap of $1,500 all the more humorous) to get my views out there.

Our church supports this worthwhile organization and I think it is great. They make such a difference in the lives of the people who are given the animals.
