I received an email from the #PlantBasedTreaty team regarding the animal gifting program, run by #Oxfam.

As written in the email:

"... organizations like Oxfam, #HeiferInternational and #Cargill run animal gifting programs that provide animals such as #goats, #chickens and #cows to communities in need across the globe. While these initiatives seem like a compassionate gesture, they inadvertently cause harm to the environment, animals, and the well-being of the communities they aim to help. Animal gifting schemes are described by the renowned conservation charity the #WorldLandTrust as ‘environmentally unsound and economically disastrous’."

Further, there is a quote by Jane Goodall in the email:

"Farm animals are purchased in large numbers by generous donors. Unfortunately this can result in unintended consequences. The animals must be fed, and they need a lot of water, and in some places, water is getting more and more scarce thanks to climate change. It would be ever so much better to support plant-based projects and sustainable irrigation methods, and regenerative agriculture to improve the soil."
