Too bad you're in another country Rog because the previous owner at our new home left a riding lawn mover and my sis wants goats and chickens.

We've bought numerous goats and chickens for families in Africa. A goat is €30 and 6 chickens for €24

That was very generous of you Octo & JR, but do you know what became of the animals there?

Not really. It's organized through the church in Finland and I trust them although I'm not a member. I like giving it as Christmas gifts to family member. You can buy these things on behalf of someone and just email them the certificate.

I was just wondering if they used the animals for a continuous food (milk and eggs) supply or simply ate them when they got them and ended up being hungry again.

I'm not sure I want to know

I'd gladly send them some wives and kids to eat ,
but that last deal where they tried to trade me some dead dirt for a Tractor
pissed me off .

I've had similar fears with that type of gift.

If that's a concern there are other options that don't involve animals. You can for instance support the women's education program that provides small loans to women who want to start a business among other things.

Or one of the charities that digs wells for them. Or Doctors Without Borders is another really good charity.
