Giving a Goat for Xmas

These gifts are degrading to people, not animal

By focusing on alleviating the most crude manifestations of poverty, NGOs(Non Governmental Organizations) are denying poor people in the developing world any realistic chance of achieving material comfort. Here in the West, magazines advertise gifts for men and women who ‘have everything’, but when it comes to the developing world, the prevailing sentiment seems to be that ‘beggars can’t be choosers’.

The only ethical thing would be to ditch gifts like primitive loos, dung and other stinking insults, and insist that only the best is good enough for everyone this Christmas.
