Idaho man fights to keep 200-pound potbellied pig
File photo of a pig. By Associated PressPOCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — An eastern Idaho man says his fondness for a 200-pound potbellied pig knows no city limits. Brad Willis and his pig live on First Avenue in Pocatello, where swine are classified as livestock and require a permit. Willis asked the city to make an exception, but was denied earlier this month. Councilman Ron Frasure now says he's willing to reconsider the request, though he can't promise a different outcome. Pocatello Animal Control Director Mary Remer says giving an exception for livestock to live in back yards could set a troubling precedent for the city. Remer says that while Willis describes his pig as being about the size of a medium or large dog, swine are stubborn and the animal could be dangerous if it wandered away from home. ___ Information from: Idaho State Journal Most Popular |
