| Here's their story: TELFORD TO ADVERTISE PIG ORDINANCE By GREG COFFEY Staff Writer TELFORD - The borough council is one step closer to replacing an ordinance that bans pigs from being kept as pets. Council members voted unanimously Monday night to advertise" an ordinance that would allow two potbellied pigs per single family, detached home. If adopted, the ordinance would replace one enacted in the 1960s, which banned pigs from the borough. The proposed ordinance comes about 15 months after a family that owns two pigs moved into the borough. Before the family moved in, borough officials told family members the pigs would be no problem. After neighbors com- plained, citing the 1960s ordinance, the council voted the pigs could stay. The new ordinance would limit the size of pigs to 175 pounds and 25 inches in height at the shoulde11. Pigs would be required to be fenced in, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and tattooed for identification. Owners would be required to show documentation from a licensed veterinarian that "the pig is indeed a potbellied pig. - Greg Coffey can be reached at gcoffey@phillyburbs.com. |
