I don't have that problem, I only give for the care of animals,
animals never lie, never steal, and take only what they need, they
have no pockets. Two of my neighbors care for rescue animals, I
regularly bring much appreciated food. They prefer food to cash,
saves them a trip to the feed store. In fact I'll be going to the
feed store tomorrow, I need bird seed anyway.
