Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
California firefighters are enlisting help from some unusual allies to prevent more deadly wildfires from ripping across the state -- goats.
The Ventura County Fire Department is releasing hundreds of goats next week north of Los Angeles to eat dead brush that could become fuel for a fires.
"They'll eat until we like the way the landscape looks, and then we move them to another area," Captain Ken VanWig, who oversees the department's vegetation management program, said in an interview. "They're very effective."

anonymous coward: Your honor, I object! I was not molesting squirrels in the public park!
judge: The officer's body camera footage says differently.
anonymous coward: Judge, how can you believe someone who does not even know the difference between a squirrel and a chipmonk?
judge: Is there any material difference?
anonymous coward: Yes your honor! A chipmonk has really soft fur that feels good against your skin. I still maintain I was not molesting squirrels in the park!
judge: Objection overruled. That will be 16 hours community service while listening to Justin Bieber music.
anonymous coward: Nooooooooo!
