Talk:Heifer International

message: Two different anons have removed the link around Darcy Kiefel. I've re-added it both times, but is there any rational reason they were removed? Is it vandalism? Howabout1 Talk to me! 01:02, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: The tone makes it fairly obvious it was written by a supporter or member of the organization.  It probably needs to be rewritten, particularly the "accountability" section. 75.183.86.60 16:53, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tone of Article 

message: It should be easy enough to post those glowing reports on how efficient and wonderful Heifer International is and provide links. As it is, these claims are completely unsubstantiated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.188.168 (talk) 04:35, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accountability Section 

message: I would support this proposal, with Heifer Foundation then redirecting to this article. The two organisations do appear to be intimitely related. Heifer Foundation appears just to be a wing of Heifer International. Making it a Section of this article would, IMHO, seem appropriate. TheAMmollusc (talk) 13:17, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge of Heifer Foundation material 

message: It may be true that Heifer International is exactly what they say they are. On the other hand, their promotional pamphlet shows idealized animals that would never survive shipment to distant areas of the world as they claim. Everything is too good to be true, and not explained in detail. But this is only my own opinion, backed up only by one web page that protests against Heifer International, published by United Poultry Concerns, Inc., which is run by Karen Davis and located in Machipongo, VA. UPC does not give references for any of their negative statements. Added: another negative article 1 another negative article 2 David Spector (talk) 20:58, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Has Heifer undergone randomized controlled trials or other evaluations? If not, what's their stance on evaluation? Is there data on how many recipients sell the livestock for cash? How much does it cost for them to deliver an animal?
