Flying goats on live aid mission

MORE than 400 goats were yesterday flown from Shannon to Tanzania, where each of the animals will be given to a family as part of the Bóthar helping programme.

The goats were transported in an African International DC8 aircraft

Bóthar, the Limerick based international aid agency, specialises in using livestock as development aid. The goats will be able to give each family enough milk to meet their daily needs.
