አማዞን የሚባለው የአሜሪካ ኩባንያ በድረ ገፁ ላይ የፍየል ማከራዬት አገልግሎት ጀመረ
ፍዬሎቹ የሚከራዩት የስጋን አምሮት በማዬት ብቻ ለመወጥት ሳይሆን ለስራ ነው። አሜርካ ውስጥ በተለይ አንዳንድ ከተሞች ሳር በጣም ያድግና አንዳንዴ ለአይን የሚያስጠላ ሲሆን ሳሩ ሲደርቅ ደግሞ እሳት ያስነሳል። ለዚህም ለአብነት የሚሆነውና በአይናችን ያዬነው ከጥቂት አመታት በፊት ሳንድያጎ ከተማ ካሊፎርንያ ከተማ የተነሳው እሳት ነው። ያ እሳት በሰማይ በራሪ በመሬት ተሽከርካሪ የነበር የእሳቶች ሁሉ እሳት የነበር ሲሆን የሚሊዮን ዶላር ቤት በትንሽ ደቂቃዎች ውስጥ ዶጋ አመድ ሲያደርግ ትንሽ እንኳ ቅር የማይለው እሳት ነበር። ታዲያ በዚያን ወቅት ጢሻና ሳርን ለማጽዳት የታደሉ ፍየሎች መጥተው ሜዳውን እና ዱሩን ላጥ አድርገው ሄዳዋል። ዛሬ አማዞንም የሚያከራያቸው ፍዬሎች ስራቸው መበላት ሳይሆን መብላት ነው። የታደሉ ብያቸዋለሁ። አሁን ያፋሲካ ስንቱ ፍየል ሲታረድ እንዚህ ድግሞ የስራ እድል ተፈጥሮላቸው ካለ ምንም ሃሳብ ይበላሉ። የአርባ ቀን እድል ይሉታል ይህን ነው።
ግን ክራይን በተመለከት ለምን የበግና የፍየል ዋጋ እንዲህ ጣራ ሲነካ አገራችን ውስጥ የሚከራይ ጠፋ። ሁኔታው እንዲህ ነው። ወላጆች ለጆቻቸው ከማንም እንዳያንሱ ባላሰቡት እዳ ይነከራሉ:: የሚከራይ በግ ወይም ፍየል ካለ ግን ነገሩ ቀላል ነው።
መጀመሪያ ፍየሉን ወይም በጉን ገንዘብ አስይዞ መከራየት
ከዚይ ፍየሉ ወይም በጉ መንደሩን በጩኸት ሲያናውጠው ይሰነብት እና የአመት በአል እለት ሁለት ኪሎ ስጋ ገዝቶ ከቤተሰብ ጋር ጥሩ እራት በልቶ በጉን ወይም ፍየሉን ወደ መጡበት መመለስ። ስጋ ካስፈለግ እና መግዣው ከተገኘ አምት በአሉ ካልፈ በሗላ መግዛት። ነገሩማ ይህን ሁሉ ምን አመጣው ያው ሰው የሰው ምላስ ስለሚፈራ አይደል። ለሁሉም ስለሚካራዩት ፍየሎች ከምንጩ ያንብቡት::Due to the shortage of American manpower during World War I, President Woodrow Wilson relied on sheep power to cut the White House lawn. In the 1920s the Philadelphia Phillies became their own farm team when their groundskeeper, desperate for help to maintain the Baker Bowl playing field, hired two ewes and a ram to trim the grass.
And just yesterday, Amazon began renting out goat mowers. The online company is offering “goat-grazing” services as part of the beta trial of its new Home Services campaign that provides everything from sink installations to yoga instruction. (At the moment, you can only rent a goat from the online retailer.) Each rental comes with a money-back “happiness” guarantee.
It turns out goats are better at clipping than sheep. According to Modern Farmer, it would take 83 sheep to mow 50,000 square feet of grass, but only 38 goats. Goats are also ruminants: Their four-chambered stomachs can process much more than grass, including many plants and substances that would be toxic to other critters.
Amazon has been pro-goat since last year, when Amazon Japan formed its own “weeding corps” of 30 to 40 goats, each with its own personal Amazon employee ID to work on the lawn outside the company’s distribution center. Goats and Amazon are a natural pairing because the company is based in Seattle, a city known for its state department-funded goat browsing on public underbrush. Goats can go places heavy farm machinery can’t, are cheaper than their human counterparts and leave a smaller carbon footprint. In fact, their hoofprints are cloven.
The Amazonian goats of Seattle are owned by Tammy Dunakin of Rent-a-Ruminant on nearby Vashon Island. Dunakin is prominent in goat-mowing circles, having appeared in a Colbert Report segment titled “People Who Are Destroying America: Landscaping Goats.” Stephen Colbert alleged that her operation was ruining the livelihoods of human landscapers. “I will not be satisfied until goats are doing all the landscaping jobs in this country,” she joked to his correspondent.
Dunakin, 53, has cropped brown hair, pale blue eyes and, on her pickup, bumper stickers that say, “THE VOICES IN MY HEAD TELL ME TO BUY MORE GOATS” and “I SUFFER FROM MULTIPLE GOAT SYNDROME (CUZ ONE GOAT IS NEVER ENOUGH).” While talking goat, she sways to and fro, perhaps because she’s constantly being nuzzled. The moment we enter her pasture, I’m greeted by a horned and bearded buck named Ernie and his brown- and black-striped buddy, Franz. The rest of the herd surrounds us, heads rubbing against our coats. “They give great massage,” Dunakin tells me.
