Daily News | This weekend, let a goat eat your Christmas tree
The Philly Goat Project, based at Awbury Arboretum in East Germantown, is hosting itsthis Saturday, granting you the opportunity to donate your past-prime tree to thirteen extremely enthusiastic goats. Alongside recycling, there will be farm olympics for small children, hot chocolate and s’mores, a fire pit, and a petting area for goats taking a break.
With their four-chambered stomachs and two sets of teeth, goats are basically far superior to humans, said Karen Krivit, a social worker and founder of the Philly Goat Project. A mixture of Nigerian dwarf and Nubian breeds, the goats vary in size. The largest, at 200 lbs., is on a diet, Krivit said, and is currently going without second breakfast. . The goats are trained to stand on their hind legs, turn left and right, shake hands and give kisses; sometimes they’ll lie down but they can’t be convinced to roll over., the nonprofit Philly Goat Project grew out of Krivit’s desire to create opportunities for Philadelphians to interact with nature in delightful ways.
