Army of 800 Goats Descend on City of Berkeley

By Eowyn @DrEowyn

You expect to see goats in the countryside, but not in an urban city.

But that’s exactly what residents of the San Francisco Bay Area city of Berkeley saw — an army of 800 goats cascading down the hill.

The goats are used by U.C. Berkeley’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a “green” way to prevent wildfire by clearing, via eating, the hillsides of dried grass and vegetation.

Ingenious!
