Save ESA Chester

The Issue

I am a disabled veteran who recently moved into my new home that had zoning permits for animals including"swine". When I purchased my house, there were two neighbors who had been occupying my property for the past 15 years. They openly have stated from one house, "It's not fair, I've always rode my 4 wheelers and had parties back here with my teenagers, and the previous owners didn't care". I stated I was to be using my property for my ESA, myself ,and my daughter. She did not like that. She threatened me with a gun and harassed me for hours. I called the police. The second interaction with her resulted in her teenage daughter assaulting me with a shovel, bruising my shoulder and foot. I have had the sheriff here multiple times as well as my property line surveyed 4 times. Sheriff and surveyors  say I'm in the right. The other homeowner who is upset states before I moved in, the previous owners would allow her and her autistic son to shoot crossbows towards our house and shoot BB guns in village limits for target practice. I simply stated nicely please don't do that while my family or animals are around. She has now come to my home and bothered me multiple times about how my yard is unsafe because Chester is not a "typical" pet pig, but one found in a hog house for consumption. My electric fence is several feet inside my property line and can only be accessed by crossing my orange snow fence 200 ft across or the brush barrier I created. There are posted signs and warning signs for the fence. Touching the fence requires trespassing. Even the zoning committee shared their opinion stated saying it was strange for me to have such a large pig as an ESA, and they didn't like it. I am asking for support from my fellow brothers and sisters all ages and backgrounds military,  non-military, others who have or do not have an ESA's support in agreeing I should be able to have my ESA along with being afforded to use my property for my means to keep my chester healthy/happy/safe without this continued harassment.
