Patriotic herbivores needed.

The military is hiring, but they're not looking for humans; this Albertan military base wants goats.

In a post to buyandsell.gc.ca on Monday, May 25, the Department of National Defence announced they're looking for 250 goats and sheep to help maintain the grasses.

“

These areas need to be grazed down by goats and sheep on an as and when needed basis.

The areas are hard to access and sloped, which is why a few hundred hungry critters are better than lawnmowers.

The military isn't the only force making use of goats to control weeds — the city of Edmonton has tried it before too.

So if you know any cloven-hoofed patriots out there, let them know that the military needs their help.
