ROME (Reuters) - An Italian town is setting donkeys to work mowing the grass on the side of its highways in an effort to save money and reduce pollution. Fed up with paying some 100,000 euros (1,070,000 yuan) a year to cut the grass on its out-of-town roads with tractor-mowers, the local government of Treviso, near Venice, said on Tuesday it had bought six donkeys to do the work instead. "This purchase will allow us to save cash as well as launch an experimental ecological project," said local government chief Luca Zaia, who paid just over 2,000 euros for the six asses.

　　Motorists need not fear running down the animals: they will only be allowed to munch the grass in roadside areas fenced off from traffic.
