St. Charles made the wrong decision on Sara, the pet pig
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
I am up in arms about the St. Charles City Council’s ruling that Sarah the potbellied pig is in violation of a ordinance barring swine in the city limits. Hopefully, her owners will pursue a course of action that will either overturn the ruling, or put in place another ordinance that would accommodate Sarah. Suffice to say, in my opinion, the Council’s decision was not only unfair, cruel, and a travesty of justice, but most of all, it wasn’t kosher. Gene CartonOlivette
It seems the only true pigs in the story sit on the city council. The ordinance was to keep pig farms (or at least a pen full) out of suburbia, not ban pets.
