Landscaping Goats Entertain Rescued Big Cats While Clearing Invasive Plants

A herd of 32 landscaping goats from Goats On The Go Raleigh-Durham provided quiet vegetation management and visual enrichment for the rescued big cats of Carolina Tiger Rescue while clearing invasive plants around the sanctuary. The goats were chosen as a quieter alternative to machinery that can stress the animals.

This quiet, sustainable approach reduces the need for loud machinery while improving habitat areas for the animals in our care. That equipment can create persistent noise that adds stress for many of our rescued animals, so this method makes a meaningful difference in their daily environment.

The goats are kept safely separated from the resident tigers by physical fencing, while GPS-enabled virtual boundaries keep them within the designated grazing area.

Don’t worry, the goats are kept safe at all times with GPS collar virtual boundaries and a movable fencing system that ensures they stay exactly where they need to be while they graze and work.
