What an environmental concept! Why waste resources, use machines, pay salaries, pollute the environment and spend tax money to trim the lawns of the city's parks when you can bring sheep to "trim" them for free? The sheep will be having a nice free meal as well.
For the second year running, sheep are being used to trim the lawns of Torino's parks. The herds will graze in the parks for two months saving the city about 30,000 euros in gardeners' fees
