Grazing Goats in Paris

 

A man in France has created a mobile herd of goats, which he uses to mow people’s grass in suburban Paris.  He’s turning ordinary lawns into green meadows and he’s entertaining locals while doing it.  Someday, he hopes to expand his herd and make 100% suburban goats milk products.

Politics & Animals

The US Presidential Debate is happening right now, at my Alma Mater, the University of Denver.  It’s been a hot topic all week here in Denver, and we Denverites couldn’t be prouder to host such a prestigious event.

So, here’s an old-timey picture of a donkey and a elephant.  Enjoy.

…. go donkeys ;-)

Jazz for Cows

 

In Autrans, France, an American-based jazz band called The New Hot 5 discover that the cows like their music as much as the people do!

 

My favorite part is watching the cows take notice and walk towards the music. :-)

Kicking Off Memorial Weekend With a Drunk, a Zebra, and a Parrot

Today is Friday, and so starts Memorial Day Weekend 2012.  Many people like to celebrate their three-day weekends with drinking, which is fine in moderation, just don’t be like this guy:

Jerald Reiter, from Cascade, Iowa, was stopped by police following reports that animals were trapped in a vehicle parked at a local business. By the time Officer Chad Leitzen of the Dubuque, Iowa police arrived on the scene, the owner of the car was there and clearly intoxicated. (Probably not surprising, as he was coming out of a bar.) The real surprise was that the man had a zebra in the cabin of his pickup truck and a parrot on his shoulder. The police report stated, “I observed a zebra in the back seat of the vehicle and a parrot on the driver’s shoulder.”  The officer conducted a breathalyzer test on Reiter, who flunked spectacularly with a blood alcohol content of .148, well over the .08 state limit.

Reiter’s girlfriend, Vickey Teters, told reporters that the zebra and parrot are their pets.

So, if you’re going to go out tonight, be smart, drink responsibly, and leave the zebra at home. :-D
