Hello Piggy Parents/Friends,
I always try to make a difference every day of my life to pet pigs everywhere because of who I am and what I believe.
Fortunately I never had to fight to keep any of my pigs. My pigs were
always safe and I started doing this work because I didn’t want someone
to come to my door and tell me I had to get rid of my girls because
there was some old law on the books that said so.
It has taken me over 16 years to gather all the information on this
web site and in my zoning work book to help fight this ongoing battle .
I have put in many hours learning how to fight to win each and every
case ,because they are all different in some way? Not
all cases can be won no matter what proof you present. If the city does
not want a pig in town then no matter what happens there will not be a
pig in their town.
I have and still am perusing contacts in the law community to find
pro bono help for clients that have no means to pay if they do need an
attorney..I am now working with a wonderful law professor from CT to try
and get new law students involved in animal laws to help our pigs?
I work with attorneys all the time for free, because I am the only
one out there that does what I do and knows what I know about strategies
on how to fight animal zoning laws.
I have donated my life to animal assisted therapy work with my
first pig Reggie who was honored to be in Life Magazines Hero Edition in
May of 1997 for all the therapy work we did. Reggie and I were Good
Will Ambassadors for the pet potbellied pig every day of our lives
together.
So I not only fought the fight I lived the life. We appeared at many
zoning hearings and even organized the first and only Potbellied Pig
protest at a court house in Shelton Ct. We proved everywhere we went
what a good pet Potbellied Pigs were for those of us that chose to love
a pig ..
I spend a lot of time on cases and some of them take many years
to finish. It takes a lot of money for a web site and my phone bill,
the cost of printing and mailing costs for the work book. Envelopes and
extra pages and my personal letter as well as pictures of pots and farm
pigs on photo paper, ink for the printer and paper all take money.
Therefore I must charge a small fee for the work book and I do accept
additional donations to further the cause. you can donate a by clicking
the paypal button on this homepage
My time.. I spend hours on the phone and months on cases with no pay
except the joy I feel when a pig can stay home on the couch where it
belongs.. Some cases take years to settle.. Even I do not have any
idea how much money I save each and every family by them not having to
get an attorney for their case.. I have devoted my life to this cause.
My main concern is the pigs and always has been the pigs.. If you choose
to be a client of mine lets fight to keep your pigs in their home where
they belong..
It is very important to the next person using this site to have the very newest information to win their case so
please I beg you Pass on all the information about your win so it can be posted here to win another case on another day.
Respectfully Submitted

We are currently under attack of the town due to a very unpleasant neighbor in many instances and he is politically connected…….so, we need as much ammunition as possible to get our pet pig permission to stay with us. We have a letter from animal control, a woman who won a battle for hers in the 1990′s in a neighboring town is looking for her information so I have a “local” basis. Not this town but a start to showing Miss Ivy is a PET, not a farm animal as they said we are harboring a swine, lumping her in with roosters and chickens etc as a potential nuisance. We created a fenced in area and invited animal control so she could give us a letter of evidence she is housed in our home and has a fenced in yard to keep her safe and unable to wander. I know it is going to be a big fight as they said the more they look into it the more of a “problem” pigs have become in NY. As we all know, most people do not do proper responsible pet ownership of ANY animal and give them up, set them into a neighborhood and don’t establish love, dominance, consistency and training and certainly attention so I don’t want that statement said to us to deter us from trying very hard to establish she is a much loved pet and should be allowed.
How much to you charge…and are there perhaps interested students of law available?? Thank you very much! We live in Garnerville, NY and the zoning is for the Village of Haverstraw. We will be getting a court date very soon.
Hello,
I am wanting to get a pig for a pet and the breeder let me know that I do need to check zoning to make sure my pig would be allowed. It is actually a mini juliana pig and does not get super big. I noticed most of the piggies on your website look a little bigger. Do you know any information on zoning for pigs of the mini juliana size? I live in Michigan and have looked around, but most of what I find is about the larger pot bellied piggies. Do you know who I need to get into contact with to find out if I am able to have a piggy for a pet in my area? Thank you for your time! P.S. The piggies on your website are super cute!
I was referred to you by Andrew at zoompigshone. My daughter is trying to get a zoning variance for her pig as an emotional therapy service animal in Rogers, AR. I have glanced over your website and ordered your zoning manual, but what she needs initially is a letter addressing the benefits of pigs as therapy animals for anxiety and depression. Is there something on your website that would suffice? If not, could you email me a general letter regarding this. I will be happy to compensate you for your time. Sincerely, Mark Hogan
