Wait! This is getting out of control!

Meet the Goats of Amazon's New Goat Rental Service

"Amazon has been pro-goat since last year, when Amazon Japan formed its own ‘weeding corps’ of 30 to 40 goats, each with its own personal Amazon employee ID to work on the lawn outside the company’s distribution center. Goats and Amazon are a natural pairing because the company is based in Seattle, a city known for its state department-funded goat browsing on public underbrush."

Did you ever live across the street from a goat? It’s noisy.

Of course, the chickens next door can be pretty noisy too. And pretty soon there’ll be all kinds of birds making enough noise to wake you up in the morning, when you want to sleep.* Maybe it’s just nature that’s noisy. Why can’t it just shut up?

*Dorothy Parker: "Every year, back comes Spring, with nasty little birds yapping their fool heads off and the ground all mucked up with plants."
