And where do these goats deficate while eating said grass? That's right. Right back on the meadow they are grazing on. Now they'll have to pay someone to pick up goat poo. Andy, so-stoned, aquaboy, meth...? Any of you interested in doing a little work?

Maybe someone should give that idiot GARY ACKERMAN a SUPER DOODER POOPER SCOOPER to clean up the goat poopie and hope he dont get butted into the next universe

This will come to no good end. Every time these eco-morons start engineering nature they totally screw everything up! It's history.

When I was growing up, a guy down the street had a donkey. He would tie the donkey to the various trees on the side lot to keep the grass mowed. Got a little expensive in the winter when he had to buy feed. It made it easy to give directions though, go right at the donkey house.

What on earth is on that poor cow's back?

The poor cow is sporting the patented libtard fart sucker.

It's easy. just fit the goats with diapers, and have your americorps volunteers go around changing them.

This isn't new. Folks have been using goats for a long, long time to "clear" overgrown parcels.

Yeah, Get off it. Goats are a good idea.

How much harmless CO2 is emitted while moving goats to and from the areas they are to graze? Lawnmowers use relatively little fuel, which is distinctly preferable to a fuel-hungry truck and trailer driving goats between farms and urban areas to be grazed.

Personally, I'd like force Al Gore, NASA's James Hansen, Barak Obama, and all the other hysterical "the sky is falling!" numb-nuts out there to get down on all fours and devour the cat green briar themselves...

One good thing about goats, is that their poo is more like large rabbit pellets than something that the dog left by the front door.

They are a very cheap way to clear off overgrown land, just stake them out and move their stakes every day or so and they will clear out the area in no time. Plus, when you are through with them, they taste pretty dang good in a stew or slow roasted over a low fire.

they used to use the town commons in most NE towns as grazing pastures to keep them clear for drilling the militia.

farmers would, either by lottery or in a rotating schedule, be able to bring their animals to town to graze. it also gave him the opportunity to show off his animals and possibly sell them..it also was the origins of some state fairs.

Is it true that goats attract jihadists? Something about going on dates?

Anyway, goats will even eat the bark of trees and just about anything (except a jihadist evidently). And they have a very mean disposition - sort of like Michelle Obama when she looks in the mirror.

Mmm! I need me a whole bevy of these beauties.

What's next, replacing forklifts with elephants?

Are these fainting goats? Do we need to enroll them in Obamacare to treat their fainting spells?

Goats "indulge in flatulence." Heh.

Wait.... Shouldn't MaObama's "Regulatory Czar", Cass Sunstein, file suit on behalf of the goats?

The problem with goats is that they don't know expensive ornamentals from pigweed. They will strip and defoliate anything in sight. That said, I did save on mower gas and personal energy this year by fencing in my yard for two horses. I still had to scoop, but that just makes the taters and tomaters bigger.

I'm a regular follower of Moonbattery but I really have no problem with the goats being used to feast on overgrowth. I'm not an "Eco-phobe" just because a lot of the ideas lately are douche-tastic and, let's face it, demented. We still need to consider the enviroment when: a.) It is possible and b.) No humans are harmed by being concerned with nature.

Finally a shovel ready project. Someones got to follow behind these lawnmowers and "clean it up".

Have to wait and see. If goats were a good idea they would not have been abandoned as a bad idea in place of scythes and, later, mowers. A once off to get rid of stuff, yes, but permanently?Simply deprives humans of the right to be on the place. Goats have their own territories.

Get 'em to make some world class goat cheese/feta for the locals too and THEN I'm all for it!

Not that it makes any difference to the environment whether you use goats or a brush hog...but speaking as a farm boy, I know firsthand goats are pretty useful for controlling vegetation growth since they'll eat anything. Just tie a goat to a stake, let it munch on the area for a week, then move the stake on the the next spot. Simple, easy and effective.

What's not clear here or in the linked article is just why this plant needs to be controlled?

The website of U.S. Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-L.I./Queens)states that:
"The vine that has invaded the park is known as the cat green briar, a variety of the voracious “smilax” vine. The vine is growing at an alarming rate throughout the park, destroying everything in its path including public trails, plant life/trees and nests and food for wildlife. In fact, the far western slice of the park has already suffered extensive damage."

This sounds a bit species-ist.

How do the environmentalists justify saving the environment by destroying it?

Hey, this is a win-win situation as I see it. The goats clean up the area, and then the Dems can sell them to their buddies at the mosque!

A perfect airliner one like they used in THE FLINTSTONES a great big bird with a large log tied on its back
