<p>Miniature pigs are becoming more and more popular. They are clean, loving, highly intelligent, and really no different than a dog. Our mini pig, Leonard, fits that description perfectly. He has the best personality and has never caused a problem. Our city, like many across the country, has ordinances that have not kept up with our changing understanding and relationship with animals like mini pigs. Ordinances meant to prevent people from having livestock in the middle of a neighborhood, are unfairly being used to target pets like Leonard. I’ve been told Lenard has to go, but it doesn’t have to be this way. I’m asking the city of Rice Lake, WI to change its ordinance on pigs. Leonard is not dangerous or carnivorous-- he is a beloved member of our family.</p>
