Kudzu Death

Every year I watch as this tall evergreen slowly succumbs to Death By Kudzu. I slowed its progress by cutting its legs off -- the three-inch thick vine/stalk that grows (grew) out of the ground. Apparently, this plant, spawned of Hell, had enough of its xylem-sucking tendrils embedded in the arteries of my tree that it continues to grow, albeit perhaps less quickly.

Atlanta, Georgia, has imported goats in an effort to rid themselves of this Evil that threatens to destroy planet earth. I am searching for a goat that can scale a tree and knows the difference between kudzu and pine needles.
