Marthasville to allow potbellied pigs as pets

Posted

The city of Marthasville will now allow potbellied pigs to be kept as pets.The city’s board of aldermen passed an ordinance Dec. 20 making an exception in the city’s ban on pigs. Other breeds of pig remain prohibited.Potbellied pigs join rabbits, horses, goats and ponies on the list of farm animals that can be kept as pets within city limits. Outdoor shelter for animals already on that list cannot be within 50 feet of any property line, but the new ordinance does not specify whether shelter for pigs is subject to the same setback requirement.The city also allows geese, ducks, turkeys, chickens and other species of fowl to be kept for personal use, with specific requirements for shelters for such animals.Potbellied pig
