Allow Pot Bellied Pigs as Pets in Little Rock, WITHOUT the restrictions of Livestock.


Allow Pot Bellied Pigs as Pets in Little Rock, WITHOUT the restrictions of Livestock.
The Issue
Little Rock has 2 conflicting city ordinances. I am the owner of an 11-month old pot bellied pig. I thought I did the responsible thing by checking the city ordinance before I got him. I saw where he was allowed and proceeded. Now, because of a rude neighbor next door to the house I bought 3 months ago who called to complain that there was a PIG living next door to him, Animal Control is citing a different ordinance that doesn't allow livestock within 300 feet of the nearest residence.
I had to hire a lawyer for my pig because I believe the city is WRONG for having inconsistent ordinances. He is a strictly indoor pet. He is neutered, well-behaved, walks on a leash, sits on command - he is no different than a short, fat dog & I love him just as I do my dogs. He is a PET; he is NOT Livestock!
