Have a Cow International!

Why is it that one contribution to a charity and you are a prisoner of their mailing list forever? Four years ago I donated to Heifer International with the proviso that I not be included on there mailing list. Not only did I get several letters requesting further donations but come the following Christmas I received a very expensive and fancy 'Gift Catalog" billed as t"The Most Important Gift Catalog in the World." I have been trying for 3 years to get off there catalog mailing list.

Heifer International tells you that for small donations you can purchase a cow, a goat, chickens etc for a third world village, to put them in the livestock business. If in fact these modest sums were legitimately going for what you had purchased, how do they afford huge sums on glossy mailings and catalogs? I think someone should investigate this supposedly worthy charity.
