What do you think of the Google Goats? Google got a herd of goats to keep the grass cut at their campus.

The Town of Hempstead has a new set of grass cutters for the Norman J. Levy Park and Preserve in Merrick, and they go by the names Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, Happy and Doc.
"We'll let them eat to their hearts' content," said Town Supervisor Kate Murray. "Basically, they're going to be our natural lawn mowers."
The preserve hopes the goats will thrive -- and perhaps add to their ranks.
"We figure with one boy and four girls, nature might take its course," Murray said.

M$However, goats are far from environmentally sound overall. Society has to be very careful with goats. A few goats is fine, and using them to clear some scrubland that needs clearing as Google is doing is great. But goats won't stop there if they are not strictly controlled. They will destroy all vegetation, they eat plants right down to the stubble. Then the land erodes and becomes barren. I have long believed that overuse and overpopulation of goats destroyed both the fertility and natural landscape of ancient Greece and the surrounding Mediterranean lands.

M$I don't remember the sources for the research I did on this about the Mediterranean way back in college;but, as far as current goat problems go they are still well known. In particular goats should never be brought to an island. Here's just one quick source:http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?search=Capra+hircus
Ah so the notion that a goat will eat anything is only half the story. The other half is they will eat everything they can.
