I hope that wasn't sarcastic, sea turtle.

I have a friend that does this, she bought a whole cow and a farmer keeps it on his land, she can visit whenever she wants and pays for its share of the food and when comes time to slaughter she goes and participates in the entire process from killing to cutting up and takes home the meat and bones for her dogs, maybe sells some back to the farmer, and freezes it to use throughout the year. It's rather admirable IMO, she doesn't eat chicken unless she buys it from this farmer, because in our city we don't have backyard chicken laws yet, and this year she's thinking of also adopting a pig. It's a lot of trouble for most people, myself included at the moment, but definitely something someone can look into. I plan to when I am a bit more stable in life.

How can someone like me help children like this? Are there charities or other organizations or some way a citizen could do something?
