We've had this question before...

[franklanguage]

How do you graciously return a gift from Heifer International? It seems one of my well-meaning clients will be giving her corporate gifts from them, and if so I may be a recipient.

Considering that the gift is given in your name to someone else, it's especially tricky. I certainly don't want a cow slaughtered in my name—although they also do goats, sheep, and bees.

Can you bring this up? If you can't, and you can't return it... then donate it to those in need who would consume animal products anyways.
