Thread: culling goats

Yup, ain't that the truth.

Just spent 2 hours putting together a "goat control plan" for a reasonable area of private land so we can justify going out and reducing the number of stinkies that are eating the neighbours vege gardens. In past years we used that rare commodity "commonsense" and did the job without drama, without a 3-page risk assessment, without upsetting anybody and without death or injury. Except to the goats of course.

I believe there will come a time when all of this BS will have to stop. Unfortunately I don't think it will happen in my remaining lifetime.... but in order for stuff to actually 'happen' it will have to end. I also ponder how this BS manages to continue evolving in this manner and it is clear we must blame those of you in your 30's and 40's. I say this because those of us in our 50's clearly don't agree with it and nobody I talk to condones these notions. Horrifically, I'm probably now old-school and out-dated.

Where did all this BS start? I'll tell you! It started with a clever sales plan. A very clever sales plan. At the time it was sold to thousands, probably millions of companies as a way to get into an "exclusive group" of like-minded companies so you could be seen as having a conscience - even if you didn't. It was called ISO 1000. And it earned some clever people millions of dollars. It was pure BS of course, but it grew to unmanageable proportions. The legacy continues and its getting out of hand.

It will be the demise of humanity.

Being mid 30s I am horrendously offended by this statement.... (not really). Being mid 30s but feel like I was born a generation too late I absolutely agree.
