Adopt a sheep
With the drought in Australia hitting so many farmers so hard - and the government preferring to spend the millions of tax payers dollars that could be used to provide relief on such essentials as:
- invading Iraq
- promoting and marketing industrial reforms via multi million dollar advertising campaigns (Work Choices propaganda cost us $55 million to promote)
- stocking the wine cellar at Kirribilli
… one farming couple have shown some tremendous ingenuity and begun a World Vision style scheme for the sponsorship of their sheep.

For just $35, you can feed a sheep for 100 days - you also receive a certificate of adoption, a photo and can even visit your sheep.
They even have a guard alpaca. It would be worth sponsoring a sheep just to get to see the aplaca!

Drop on over to the site and sponsor a sheep - help the farmers help us.
I am not sure if the farmers will let you get all Kiwi on the sheep though - because remember, Baaaa means no…
