    I am an animal lover and vegetarian so would be very concerned about animals being mistreated. However I buy goats, chickens etc every year from Oxfam to give as gifts. I think Oxfam are the experts in this area and I trust their judgement with how they spend the money helping people. In reality I think the money is more widely used than buying a particular animal etc and is a clever marketing tool. If it helps people in developing countries, good on them for getting donations up this way.

  • 70 years of committee famine relief

    And famine still exists?
  • Does anyone know if they will be doing something similar in 2016? If so, when will it be available? I know they have the last few years, just got to time it right.
