    Imagine being so deranged you get triggered by * checks notes *

    exploiting the fact that some animals eat plants.

      It’s more because he hates the city he lives in (but refuses to leave) so much that they could give him a million dollars and he’d find a way to be furious about it. If Donald Trump announced that he was putting goats in this dude’s living room, he’d say it was a great plan.

    I don’t think cows eat weeds

    Also goats are made of meat too

    I mean I have a couple other notes too, but those are the two that spring most immediately to mind

    Goats are far better for this type of thing, cows graze and only really eat grass. Goats are “browsers” meaning that they will eat just about anything, weeds, brush, trees, and also grass. So if you put a cow in a field, eventually you’ll just have big giant weeds, if you put a herd of goats in a field they will eat everything and keep it trimmed down.

      They can quickly strip bushes and trees of all their bark that is in reach, killing them. Goats can be useful if not allowed to overgraze and then move on to the above. They have browsing preferences, like cows, and can be very, very stubborn about reaching their preferred meal at any cost. They are also skilled escape artists, unlike cows. They need to be managed carefully in a pasture, like any grazer.

      I’m not sure - he really doesn’t come off that way in person. I mean, he’s still a nut but he did a candidate forum when he was running for mayor and it was more like typical MAGA nonsense (but he also hates a lot of Republicans after the local party pulled their support during a previous election).
