As We just covered, Google rented Goats. Now there is a new development to it. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is okay with letting the goats to do the mow job but they have some major concerns about how they’ll be treated in doing these tasks.
Amy Cook, an Assistant Manager of Marketing for PETA: PETA has no problem with letting goats do what goats want to do (e.g., look cute and eat weeds), but we do have concerns about how the goats may be transported, whether they are provided with access to shelter during storms and shade as well as water during hot weather, where they are housed when they aren’t “working,” what kind of veterinary care they receive, and what becomes of old and/or excess goats. PETA has found over and over that whenever animals are used by a business to make money, corners are cut and animals often suffer as a result. And that really gets our goat, if you’ll pardon the pun.
Niki Fenwick, a Google representative:Google takes the wellness of our employees very seriously and we pride ourselves on having a responsive and adaptable culture. The lawn-mowing goats are not, of course, full-time Google employees - but we would certainly respond directly to any concerns about their treatment. I can confirm that during their time in Mountain View, like other Google employees, each goat is entitled to a free organic lunch.
Google was trying to take a low carbon approach, a good environmental approach but it seems that other taking this action in different direction. Personally, I do support PETA with campaign likes not to eat meant , Not to wear fur but sometimes I feel PETA is playing a roll of Profit Making Company then a NGO.
