Monrovia Considers Goats to Clear Dry Brush
In Monrovia California firefighters adopt a baby goat mascot after an abandoned kid appeared on the public library steps two days after the City Council discussed using goats to curb dry brush. Fire Chief Mike DiGiovanna cares for the animal while noting the demanding task of parenting and home duties. Several California towns already use goats for brush control, and Monrovia may join them though concerns arise about potential ecological impacts.
