🐐🔥🐐 POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA: GOATS
I'm Treasurer of the Malibu La Costa Beach & Tennis Club (not fancy - dues <$70/mo) & last summer we hired MANY goats to clear all the brush around our tennis courts.
EVERYTHING ELSE BURNED - courts SURVIVED. There was a lot that could have burned including accessory structures, lighting, screens/netting etc but they're largely untouched while all the houses on the hill around it are GONE.
So why not fill all these hills with thousands of goats year round? They'll clear the vegetation, create fertilizer, plus they're cute. I used to raise them as a kid.
I know goats can overdo it and destabilize hills but if they're properly managed, they can be moved to the right areas.
