Urban wildlife

Warning: sarcasm ensues

Addis Ababa is full of wildlife. In my opinion, cities in the West might
want to consider allowing livestock in city limits. For one, it's of
endless amusement to see donkeys running around downtown. I can imagine
people shopping on Chicago's Michigan Avenue and piling their shopping
bags onto the back of their mules. A sheep might hold an elevator as
people file inside. The city could commission a herd of goats to collect
trash on the side of the road. A cow would be great at directing traffic
in a congested intersection. Strategically located roosters might alert
you to an open parking spot. Call me altruistic, but I say the wild
kingdom still holds a great deal of untapped potential.
