Quincy finally opts to use eco-friendly goats for clearing undergrowth in a local greenspace.

As Quincy Quarry New’s ever-growing legions of loyal readers well know, the old goats at the Quarry are huge fans of goats, especially as regards their well-known prowess at clearly away problematic undergrowth in greenspaces as well as so mitigating the risk of wildfires.

Of particular collateral benefit, goats can as well as do readily eat poison ivy without suffering any ill effects.

Goat fans include the conversely less than popular FoxRock development company which used goats a couple/several years ago to clear some of its to be left undeveloped land as it proceeds on its controversial plans to redevelop the former site of the Quincy Medical Center into a massively outsized apartment development.

The Town of Braintree is also a fan of goats. Braintree has long kept a herd of goats to help clear the wooded areas along the fairways at its municipal golf course.

In turn, the Town of Braintree’s goat program has turned into a tacit new business incubator as a number of Braintree’s former goatherds have moved on to running their own businesses that rent out goats for those in need of “goatscaping.”

Additionally, the City of Boston has also used goats to clear out certain of its overgrown greenspaces.

Further, goats have been used for close to a handful of decades to control highly flammable brush in the hills above the main campus of the University of Californa, Berkeley where the highly secretive Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has for over six decades conducted research in support of nuclear weapons designs as well as other high tech research projects for the federal government.

In turn, one can only assume that goats do not pose security risks if for no other reason than their vocabulary is limited to bleating as well as the ready option of sending them off to a slaughterhouse without any need to conduct a trial surely keeps their bleating to a minimum.

While closed lips surely offer considerable appeal to the also secretive Koch Maladmininstration, goats do not offer the usual benefit to the maladministration that hiring humans provides. Specifically, scoring future votes on election day by those so hired as well as surely at least a handful of family members of the hack hires as goats rarely reach the age of eighteen and so then be amendable to be grifted onto local voting roles.

Yet again foisting bovine byproduct …

Apparently, at the end of the day, even the infamous for hack-hiring Koch Machine finally had to accede to the fact that goats do great work even if they see but bupkis for their efforts.

After all, Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch was quoted as saying that “(w)e are looking at innovative ways to keep our park and open areas clean and safe (and, ed) goats are much more environmentally friendly…”

So what, however, for the fact that goats have for decades been a well-known effective as well as an environmentally-friendly way to help take care of the environment.
