Google Employs Moonbat Lawnmowers
Moonbatty Google has taken the plunge into overt self-parody:
Last week, Google brought in a herd of goats to mow the grass on its Mountain View, Calif. headquarters rather than using lawnmowers.
The company said that it wanted to take a more "low-carbon" approach with the goats reducing the company's contribution to air and noise pollution.
You would think such an absurd display of eco-piousness would earn them nothing but praise from other moonbats. But PETA militants can always find a reason to carp,
saying that though they have no problem with letting goats do what they do, they do have concerns about how they were transported and whether they have enough shelter and water.
Not to be outdone in the technology race, Yahoo too has used goats to keep the grass short.
On a tip from The.

something else, if they were transported it was on a diesel truck. i'm sure the round trip was like 50 miles.
if they had one grass tractor on googles campus to cut the lawn it would of made the footprint smaller.
plus the goats fart and poo without emissions controls.

What about the goats farting? Global warming, I mean "climate change" WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS!

Idiots. The goats would have also exhaled CO2. An electric mower (even with the charging) would probably have a smaller carbon footprint than the goats.

And before long these green moonbat wackos will be replacing garden tillars with trained moles tied to leases JUST HOW DUMB IS THIS GREEN MOVMENT GOING?

When Google eschews their own use of electricity produced by any method denounced by the left(coal, nuke, hydro, wind, oil, etc.), I will be suitably impressed. Until then, they can keep the eyewash.

Alan is right, but I'll go one better:
Use a fleet of Robomowers and set up a solar charging station.

I don't care whether the Google people manage their lawn with livestock, power mowers, a team of grim reapers with scythes, or go out there and eat the grass themselves, but they should not get goats to do it, because goats are browsers not grazers, and they won't eat grass unless they have nothing else to eat and get pretty hungry.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Browsing is a type of predation in which a herbivore (or, more narrowly defined, a folivore) feeds on leaves, soft shoots, or fruits of high growing, generally woody, plants such as shrubs.[1] This is contrasted with grazing predation, usually associated with animals feeding on grass or other low vegetation. An example of this dichotomy are goats (which are browsers) and sheep (which are grazers); these two closely related ruminants utilize dissimilar feeding preferences."
Using goats to do the work of sheep seems rather ignorant. Too bad the Google people can't figure out some way to search the internet and find out this sort of information.

A high-five to Kashika!

Nothing holds back civilisation like our so-called 'progressives'!
They will have us living in grass huts, or caves.
Not them of course, but us little people must save the environment while they jet around in their private jets and energy wasting mansions.
Is it time for the uprising yet?

That is why I stopped using Google. I also heard they record your IP address they may also alert the government if they find you searching "incriminating" stuff that is why I recommend http://www.ixquick.com/.
I have no affiliation with them, I heard over the radio.
Posted by: Marie at May 5, 2009 12:53 PM
Enough shelter?? Like wild goats have? OH, I see, goat condos?
Right! Google should be building them goat condos for their after-browsing get-togethers.
PETA, do what you do best, go kill puppies!

How big of a carbon footprint do all those servers leave that goooooggle uses ?
Posted by: Farmer Ted at May 5, 2009 1:36 PM
..and the goats eat grass that would have released methane upon decomposition anyway, plus they fart and poop everywhere...
UNLESS these are ecogreen goats that merely pluck the grass with their teeth and then deposit it in underground vaults where the dastardly CO2 can never enter the atmosphere AND they eat carbon neutral goat chow (not too much of course, because OTHER goats don't have enough goat chow) AND they poop in ecogreen washable diapers made from sustainable-harvested hemp or some other fiber AND their farts are harvested to power ecogreen office space AND the farts are all appropriately taxed...
THEN we would have a whole different outlook on these goats, right? Right.

i like goat meat, tastes just like chicken
Posted by: blue at May 5, 2009 2:29 PM
goat tastes more like sheep
i think the goats just add to the ambiance
what's goat skin good for?

Anyone who remembers my occasional comments and hat tips here knows that I'm no liberal. Keeping that in mind, I would like to point out that I plan on having sheep take care of my grass when I retire in the country.
Why, you ask? Because I plan on giving as little of my money as possible to OPEC. I'm firmly convinced that we fund our own terrorism problem by buying oil because money circulates. It doesn't sit in some shiekh's vault below his desert castle. The only reason they have any money over there at all is because of the oil we buy from them. And then we spend even more money to fight them via the military, CIA, NSA, FBI, etc.
I live only a few miles from work, bicycle when I can, use a pushmower, and have a small car. Not because the Obamessiah or some hypocritical a-hole from Hollywierd tells me to, but because I don't want to give one red cent to Hugo Chavez or some Saudi madrassa.
Bankrupt the bastards.

Good reason, Panday.
But that's not why they are doing it.
Posted by: Jim at May 5, 2009 3:06 PM
Jim,
I realize that. But they can be correct on something occasionally, even if it's for all of the wrong reasons.
Posted by: Panday at May 5, 2009 3:49 PM
I've always thought that it would be great to have goats to cut the grass as it is one of my least favorite things to do, followed closely by maintaining the two cylinder, fire belching, 18 horsepower lawn Cadillac that I mow my .25 acre lawn with. Someday maybe, but until then I'll just buy the fuel at Walmart because their oil comes from American sources. And as for climate change everybody but the Obamunists' know that is a lie.

Why don't they just plant environmentally friendly grass?
Posted by: Eric at May 6, 2009 6:06 AM
Panday, my ex's grandfather used sheep on his orange grove in the Middle East. They let the sheep munch around the trees, then do what they do, resulting in huge, delicious oranges. You may want to plant some in your retirement.
Posted by: Karin at May 6, 2009 6:51 AM
Apparently the liberals know nothing about goats (or anything else) GOATS will eat the grass down to the roots, eventually they will have large patches of MUD. Now that is funny!!
