Is it ethical for vegans to support the Heifer Project?

defines a vegan in this way: “By definition, a vegan (most commonly pronounced VEE-gun) is a person who does not eat animal products, including meat, fish, seafood, eggs, and dairy. But veganism is more about what people choose….vegans demonstrate respect for all life — their own, the planet's, and the animals'….” Heifer International claims on its website: “[The] Heifer [Project] helps people utilize livestock as an integral component of sustainable agriculture and holistic development. Heifer's projects strengthen rural families and communities through improved nourishment….” The basic question is this: Is it more important for a vegan to prevent animal exploitation or human malnutrition? Sorry for opening up a can of worms here, but I think it’s an extremely interesting question.
