ABOUT HIPPO CAMPAIGNING

Once again we are entering the season of so-called "alternative gift" catalogues when nearly all the aid charities vie for funding with nauseating humour like "chick this out" for a gift of chickens and "udderly great" for - well, you've guessed it! It is something, I suppose, that they now feel they have to anticipate criticism by giving reassurances that they do consider the environmental impact and animal welfare before making gifts of animals. We do believe them, don't we? Why not use our Silly Cow stickers on your outgoing mail? We need to get the message out widely and quickly. The self-adhesive stickers measure 64mm X 38mm, come in sheets of 21, have a cartoon cow picture, and read:

"A SILLY COW? Maybe. But not half as silly as people who send cows or goats to Africa. The  hungry do not need more mouths to feed! Livestock waste precious land and water. Give aid  that is sensible and sustainable.

This Christmas - and throughout the year - please support

HIPPO FOOD AID (Reg Charity 1075420). For information and free stickers contact HIPPO, The Old Vicarage, Llangynog, Carmarthen SA33 5BS".
