Google Goes Green With Goats
By FRANK CARNEVALE
(MYFOX NATIONAL) – 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. The cost of hiring the 200-some goats is about the same price as mowing, but the goats were “a lot cuter to watch.”
PETA responded to a TechCrunch call about the goats 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.
Don’t you just love the irony of a bunch of tree-huggers trying to do “the right thing” – in their goofy minds – only to find out that they irritated a bunch of bunny huggers? STG you could not make this stuff up. I say give them all clubs and let them beat the shit out of each other.
None of ‘em will be happy until we are living in caves, naked, and we have banished fire, cooking, and eating anything but dirt.

Did you hear that the eco-nuts are acknowledging that their “global warming” evangelism is failing and that people react negatively to the term “global warming?” Their solution? “Re-brand” “global warming” as “climate change” in order to get a new image and to account for the fact that the earth isn’t warming after all. Unfortunately, the eco-nuts’ political-religious agenda remains the same: watermelon-green on the outside, red on the inside. It has nothing to do with nature.

What an incredibly dumb idea. The goats aren’t exactly going to leave a well manicured lawn in their wake. They’re going to chew the grass down the roots and leave a dust bowl. Then Google is going to have to start feeding them goat food, which costs money. And Google is going to have to hire someone to clean up 200 goats worth of crap every day. I’m guessing that costs more than cutting the lawn. The kicker is that the goats will definitely have gaseous emissions contributing to the overall “carbon footprint” anyway.
