However, current city regs don’t allow swine to be housed within the city limits.That may change after city commissioners asked attorney Tom Rigdon to draft a new ordinance. It would allow for mini-pigs to be kept as pets with the city’s borders. Some of the suggested items for the ordinance may include:that the animal be registered with the American Mini Pig Association; that the animal be vaccinated and spayed or neutered; that the animal live in an enclosed area, and; that the animal would not be used for breeding and sales.City commissioners plan to vote the ordinance in the future.
