As long as there are people who prefer to give to donkey sanctuaries and cat protection organisations, that looks like a distinct possibility.
The 'reason' put forward to explain this phenomenon is that they think all money sent to charities abroad will inevitably go into the pockets of corrupt local officials.
Much of this is just thinly-disguised xenophobia.
Waiting now for someone to trot out the 'charity begins at home' line.
How anyone can support any animal charity and turn away from news reports from Somalia and Nigeria I'll never understand.
