No kiddin': Oregon goats on mission to deplete invasive species go rogue

The city of Salem is firing its goat squad tasked with eradicating invasive species after the animals ate the native vegetation, too

An Oregon city's experiment to outsource the removal of invasive vegetation to goats has backfired after the hoofed animals went on a damaging rampage.

A 75-strong team of goats were deployed by the city of Salem to gorge themselves on plants such as Armenian blackberry and English ivy that were crowding out native vegetation in the city's Minto-Brown Island Park.
