Israel uses goats to clear Syrian mines in the Golan Heights That would seem cheaper here too, and the still-alive goats can make milk.

- nir 14y agoSome of my friends served in the IDF engineering corps and cleared mines in the Golan as part of their service, I assure you they're not goats :) (Many mines are also designed to be triggered under a certain weight, so goats can walk freely on them and not get hurt) One interesting method I read about is seeding the area (from the air) with a certain flower. When it blooms, the contents of the ground affect the color, so on an aerial photo you could locate the mined areas.
