Where do Christmas trees go after accomplishing their mission? While most are recycled in a more old-fashioned way, some have become food for rescued goats in U.S. this year.
Dozens of Christmas trees in Arlington were fed to about 38 goats in the New Moon Farm Goat Rescue and Sanctuary, according to media reports Sunday.
New Moon takes in unwanted goats that are given up by owners, and also takes in goats taken by animal control.
"People think that's the coolest thing to recycle their trees by feeding them to goats," said Ellen Felsenthal, owner of New Moon Farm Goat Rescue and Sanctuary.
She also says she's looking for good families to adopt the rescued goats.
