    Goat Labor to "Mow" airport fields inhumane?

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/09/14...for-yard-work/



    I thought this was a funny article about how they are using goats to clean up Chicago O'Hare airport. Do you think its inhumane?

    I certainly dont think so, I think goats should all be required to clean up our overgrown grass. It is a win win, they get to eat all they want, and we get clean yards and other grassy mess fields and such.

    Plus something you have to admire as a business owner. Goats never ask for raises, they dont give you fuss, they emit less pollution as compared to machines, and they do the job extremely well.

    I would rather hire a goat than a lawn mowing company any day.

    Goats, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to eat to your hearts content in particular areas.

    As long as they aren't eating something toxic to them, then I fail to see any problem here.

    Only problem is some cities don't allow livestock within city limits. goats tend to be classified as such.

    I'm fine with it as long as it's not dangerous for the goat.

    I think it's time for a good old fashioned witch hunt!

    Burn the goat! Burn it! Medium rare!

    The PETA wackos might. They even think Mario brothers is inhumane.

    Gets to be a meme:

    Tries to mow lawn.


    Kills 200 people.

    Is... is someone, somewhere, suggesting that it's inhumane?

    I didn't see anything in the article to that effect. I'm sure PETA hates it, but they hate all the things.

    It's like working at a buffet, but all you have to do is eat the food. Sweet gig if that's basically your life's goal (ie a critter's life goal)

    So hang on...

    You give them a nice place to live, all the food they could ever eat, a place to breed and a job, and people call that inhumane?

    My fine sirs, PEOPLE live in worse conditions than that and we give this to GOATS. Calling it inhumane is an insult to people in not good situations >.< They love it and we love it. Great idea, and long may it continue that we use goats in this way.

    I think it's smart, a good idea.
    I wonder if they will make goat cheese and sell it too!
