I was going to make some comment about our resident lovable semi-nutball dharma, until I read the article Aecitia posted. If you have half an acre, the pest control aspect is kinda nice. I have a friend who has a couple of acres and he borrows goats a few times a year, some of it is hilly and rocky and a pain to weed. Even if you could get the hoa to let you have them, the coyotes would eat them within a week, it’s hard enough keeping cats in these parts.
