Yeah some people are so bossy and animal rights activists only make things worse and one animals rights group peta has been known to steal pets and kill them! It seems that some people do not allow others to be different which is just plain old sad.
It shouldn't be considered property it should be considered an animal that they take care of. As soon as you considered animals property and objects you can get away with anything you want to do to them. And if everyone else thinks the same they won't care.
@@emperorpicard4901 I never said they weren't property. Let me put it this way. You sound like a slave owner saying "slaves are property whether you like it or not" same logic and everything. Im arguing that its not right and that the law should change. So you're argument means nothing its just a red hearing.
All these neighbors are bored and have nothing better to do than to be trolls. If its legal to have the animal in your possession, then there shouldn't be any arguments against it by people not involved. And others are just jealous that their dogs or cats don't love them as much as the pig loves his family. Stupid trolls.
Morgi I'm not old and I say bye bye piggy it's farm animal it belongs on farm plus they don't want their neighborhood turned into a hillbilly heaven if someone decides they want hippo should it allowed it is only one hippo
Yes i have a pet pig she blind now they let us move here two yr ago i had to leave my first how came here now for almost 3 yr now she sleep alot she love me help me deal with my depression so why is it wrong for us to love them but it not wrong to kill them i dont think it fair to them or us we have right also so i think it should allow this they have to get right to live judge them wrong human are same as them no one can say there not allow to be loved
It shouldn't be considered property it should be considered an animal that they take care of. As soon as you considered animals property and objects you can get away with anything you want to do to them. And since everyone else thinks the same they won't care.
Some people are just miserable!! Why the hell should the neighbors care if this family has a pet pig?! It's an indoor pet! They don't plan on raising livestock. Pigs are clean and intelligent- some argue more intelligent than dogs! And what pet doesn't provide emotional support?! So, the husband had him certified for a "service" he'd been providing the entire time. Ugh, these stories make me want to scream. I feel so bad for this family.
An acquaintance of mine had this problem back in the 80s, when potbelly pigs first became popular. No farm animals allowed in the city. Certain neighbors complained. He worked around the problem by telling everyone that it wasn't really a pig at all, but a rare German breed of dog, bred to resemble a pig, called a "schweinhund".
A very simple fix would be to only let it out when it's dark out, or plant a bunch of bushes in your backyard. Be very careful to not let the pig squal otherwise everyone will definitely hear it. Don't talk to your neighbors ever.
they're obviously not trying to keep a livestock in their yard by disguising it as a pet. It is obvious that the pig is a family pet and is clean and does not cause trouble. What reason is there to not let them keep the pig other than the fact that some people have the most ignorant idea that pigs can't be more than food?
It's partly a generational gap, the generation that grew up viewing animals as mere things, there to feed, clothe and work for us but not much else and those who view animals as emotional beings who share the planet with us and can become members of the family.
What the fuck is wrong with a pig? Its a fucking pet if it were a dinosaur or elephant in your home then it would be a problem.People that complain about pigs as pets then need to re-think it and get a fucken life

Shut up you morons, do you even research, have you ever met a pig that isn’t in hard farm labour? They’re lovely animals, they’re calm when they get used to you (at first they can be quite squeamish and scream a lot but they mature), they’re quite smart (this isn’t seen in farm pigs because they can’t learn inside a farm), and can even do certain things like raising dogs. I heard of this pig that was looking after two puppies like they were it’s own.
It's hard to fathom that their are people out there that don't live in your house or pay your taxes and think they have anything to say about the pets you have or people who live there .....your home, your land should be yours and yours alone! Any and all of those people that complained and caused that family or any family undo stress and financial burden should be ashamed and responsible monetarily. Just disgusting!
Pigs are amazing pets! I have 2. They’re loving and smart and they’re super clean. They don’t produce stinky smells. They poop at the farthest place from their beds. Those locals are dead wrong. Little pigs are super smart and lovable. They’re like dogs, only smarter.

You have a pet pig not live stock. Livestock- are domesticated animals raised in an agricultural setting to produce commodities such as food, fiber and labor. This article does not discuss poultry or farmed fish, although these, especially poultry, are commonly included within the meaning of "livestock". If the pig has done nothing destructive in the community than your tender footed busy body neighbors should have nothing to complain about. And if they win get a monkey and teach it to sling poo. Just another reason why I don't like living in the rich areas of Virginia.
A pet (or companion animal) is an animal kept primarily for a person's company or protection, as opposed to working animals, sport animals, livestock, and laboratory animals, which are kept primarily for performance, agricultural value, or research. The most popular pets are noted for their attractive appearances and their loyal or playful personalities. Pets commonly provide their owners (or guardians) physical and emotional benefits. Walking a dog can supply both the human and pet with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction. Pets can give companionship to elderly adults who do not have adequate social interaction with other people. There is a medically approved class of therapy animals, mostly dogs, that are brought to visit confined humans. Pet therapy utilizes trained animals and handlers to achieve specific physical, social, cognitive, and emotional goals with patients.
My parents raised me in an affluent area of the UK and they choose to still live there. Their neighbours are exactly the same: Petty, snooty, busy bodies. I'd rather live elsewhere, I wouldn't move back if I got a free house there! Nasty people.
Thank god for busy bodies. I mean if they didn't blame all their problems on people living miles down the road what would they do? Look in the mirror and discover they're miserable people due to poor decisions?
Mr. Good boy Points yes they are an animal made for the purpose of eating by selective breeding, originally they were just animals. But, I’ve been vegan for two years and I love pigs. A lot of people dislike any videos with pigs because they feel morally guilty and they automatically do not like the idea. At least that’s my theory
Alexis Waller they really aren’t that bad, the ones raised in farms are raised so they can’t move much and not much space to poo and it isn’t cleaned much so it piles up, as well as them being made to eat tons.
Of course pigs are pets! They’re so lovely and sweet. If it wasn’t for my local council not allowing farm animals as pets I’d certainly have my own. Tucker seems like a sweetheart.
Gotta love the critics. I have a Yorkie Terrier mix that has helped me through some very stressful and emotional times. I had to move out of state and pretty much be on my own away from my family for 3 years. I'm not good at meeting new people. But animals now when you are down and out. Don't know what I would have done without her.
It was conviant for him to claim he needed a an emotional support animal and if she has allergies there are dog breeds she could of gotten all four of my dogs are for those who suffer allergies two yorkies a chinese crested and poodle they did not need to get a pig their bull shitters
What is wrong with these neighbors? I know the need to keep things nice for property value. I have lived next to human beings who kept their yard looking like a sty without any pigs. However, it seems like the only thing the neighbors are objecting to is the actual presence of the pig itself, which is ridiculous. It is obviously not a farm animal. The size of the pig, the way that it behaves, the fact that it is an indoor pet...these are not the hallmarks of a soon-to-be ham sandwich. To object, not in response to any adverse action (noise, smell, etc...) but only to some imaginary line in the sand is just narrow-minded foolishness.
Yes this were we stand up and fight speak for them many are kill abuse but we as human that have a heart get no right stop killing them law has to be change they are same as any animal give them life
We will succeed our dreams of saving pet animals and farmed animals will come true in these generations to come. One day it will be taboo to eat someone with the same blood color just like our human blood colour
I have terminal cancer. My pig my emotional support animal. I would not want to get out of bed without her. Pigs are very very clean and very very intelligent. Absolutely great pets. It is ignorant to argue anything else.
i understand homeowners association but it sux. my fiance who is a country boy hates city people for moving in and making his mom get rid of her horse. we still keep our chickens though.
Let's face it, people don't want to see a pet pig roaming their streets because it may force them to think of pigs as anything other than faceless bacon.
It’s really quite sad how humans are so heartless. I’m one of those who has sympathy for every animal (sometimes even pests). It may sound kinda weird and this isn’t related to my views but once I left a tub of water out and managed to invite mosquitoes and a few days later it was filled to the brim with mosquito larvae 😂 I let them stay because it was kind of cool to watch them swim. But pigs are the animal I feel most sorry for.
I am so sorry your family had to go through this. I have two mini pigs who have shown me a love and have given me support through emotional times in my life just like your Tucker has done for you. I pray for nothing but good things for your family and for Tucker.
the emotional support is a good point and I understand that, I used to be depressed and asked my parents for a pet pig(not mentioning that depressed part to them since I usually keeo things to myself) and it really helped me when I got my pig I felt myself progressing but sadly my pig got stolen from my back yard,we don't have a fence (but he was kept in a cozy pen) so that was a major reason for that happening. my parents offered to buy me another pig but I didn't want another pig because only having my pig for couple of moths I got attached to him so much and I don't want to loose another animal....
He's a lovely creature. I understand and believe you. Some people are total cretins. This man would not use his child as a tool to keep a pig if it wasn't true, doing so would be disrespectful and wrong. Not only this, but the fact he has a pig is a possible sign of being an emotional person.
I have pet pigs and its no different than having a dog. Its so sad to know there are people who have nothing else to do then to sit around and find fault and cause trouble for others.
I am so fed up with those people who think they have the right to tell others how to live. Mind your own business. As long as the animal is cared for properly why would anyone care.
Really, these neighbour’s need to get out more. Tucker is giving so much joy to some many people. Try going to an abattoir and watch what disgusting pain and agony these very intelligent animals go through before arriving on your plate! Animals give so much and ask for nothing back. 🇬🇧💔
I have a pet pig and a few dogs. My neighbor complained about my dogs so again the natural thing and got twice as many dogs. This is probably why he never complained about the Pig.
My next door neighbor had a pig for years a bigger one than these and never once did he ever cause a problem for any of us neighbors. He did not smell or make a peep.
As a kid, I knew a man who loved his pig so much that when he died, the man had him buried in the man's Cadillac because the pig loved being in that car. He was not a wealthy man, but loved his pig.
Bored self centered neighbours with nothing to do.Tucker is a beautiful boy.Its none of the neighbours business its tuckers house and property not theirs.
I have an Emotion Support Pig too. He is a kunekune just like Tucker. And truly, these animals are wonderfully intelligent and social. They adore cuddling and being with their humans. From day one, my pig has been a best friend for me.
How is this any different than owning a 180 pound St. Bernard? It's a big, lazy, furry animal on a leash that shits in its own yard, makes low pitch noises, and goes for walks on a leash. What difference does the species make?
I just googled it and they hot to keep their pig for one yr and then they have to re-apply for another permit, which they will probably get.. YEA!!! Those neighbors need to mind their own business!.. That sweet pig is their beloved pet!
I thought that too... but they grabbed my heartstrings and started plucking them when the man said he lost his 17 month old child in his arms.. man.. I think at that point.. I'd say keep the pig you poor soul... I can't imagine that at all... I love my baby girl so much and could never imagine and don't want to. Idk. I make emotionally charged decisions when kids are involved.🤦🏻♀️have the pig!😭😭😭
with just 1 pig, it shouldn't be a problem. Clean up after them, and it doesn't smell at all. my wife wants a pig. and i don't. Cause we live in a block, and our backyard isn't big enough for a pig and 3 dogs.
Pigs are amazing animals. They are number fifth in terms of smartness whereas dogs are somewhere between numbers 23-27. A pig has a mental range of a three year old human child and is extremely loyal and affectionate. They are also actually very clean animals and are litter trained form three days old! It's the pig farmers who keep them in dirty stalls and give them the bad names. Pathetic people and pathetic laws. There's nothing wrong in mass killing animals and trophy hunting and people get in trouble for rescuing animals or giving them shelter or having a pig that's not harming anyone.
Funny how it is perfectly legal to torture animals and create toxic lakes of poop and it is fine in those neighbors book, but keeping one small pig in a way it deserves to be kept is a big issue. I think there is absolutely no reason for this hate, except that people are uncomfortable seeing animal they designate for killing and torturing, as loving pet. Repressed guilt can manifest itself strangely. How pig is more inconvenient that a big dog? We should stop designating live creatures as meat or source of other food or income, that what we should stop doping and eventually craziness will stop. I seriously pity those neighbors what is in their heads and hearts? So much fear and hate... Pigs are impossible not to love, they are so kind and smart, you need to be literally blinded not to see that, but years of buying tortured bacon can do it, I am sure. For disallowing pets the only concerns should be danger, size and noise.
My goodness it's their home and yard let them keep their pig. People can be ridiculous and so bossy at times
Twostones00 I wish my neighbors did that with their dog poop.
And they don't like people daring to be different.

Thank god for busy bodies. I mean if they didn't blame all their problems on people living miles down the road what would they do? Look in the mirror and discover they're miserable people due to poor decisions?
I'm a pig owner. I had no idea the bond. He is my chubby kid. U have no idea unless u have one. Such love
Pigs are literally just dogs. I hate people
It's a pig. Not a fu### elephant. So what's the problem??
Pigs don't leave little shit they leave big shit and it probably smells
Mr. Good boy Points yes they are an animal made for the purpose of eating by selective breeding, originally they were just animals. But, I’ve been vegan for two years and I love pigs. A lot of people dislike any videos with pigs because they feel morally guilty and they automatically do not like the idea. At least that’s my theory
Mr. Good boy Points so what they haven’t always been livestock you know
Alexis Waller they really aren’t that bad, the ones raised in farms are raised so they can’t move much and not much space to poo and it isn’t cleaned much so it piles up, as well as them being made to eat tons.
I hope they were able to keep him. People should mind their own damn business. What's the big deal? He isn't bothering anyone.
a fucking greed
pigs are the 3rd most intelligent animal!!! can be trained quicker than any dog & so clean!!!!
squid is the most intellegence animal
Nyzma Kumala no its not-dolphins,apes,parrots...and the list continues,squid is also on the list just not in the top 5
+Red Thunder lol you're wrong bro
+Red Thunder lol you're wrong bro
@@xel3783 I think your top 5's are right but you got them in the completely wrong order
Of course pigs are pets! They’re so lovely and sweet. If it wasn’t for my local council not allowing farm animals as pets I’d certainly have my own. Tucker seems like a sweetheart.
Gotta love the critics. I have a Yorkie Terrier mix that has helped me through some very stressful and emotional times. I had to move out of state and pretty much be on my own away from my family for 3 years. I'm not good at meeting new people. But animals now when you are down and out. Don't know what I would have done without her.
It was conviant for him to claim he needed a an emotional support animal and if she has allergies there are dog breeds she could of gotten all four of my dogs are for those who suffer allergies two yorkies a chinese crested and poodle they did not need to get a pig their bull shitters
@@alexiswaller3065 now this is getting embarrassing. You really hate pigs don’t you?
@@alexiswaller3065 girl be quiet
You know what this is all about? People are just uncomfortable w/anything different that they're not familiar with.
Whoever complained needs therapy and didn't get enough hugs growing up
If I had a neighbor who had elephants and ostriches that would be awesome.
What is wrong with these neighbors? I know the need to keep things nice for property value. I have lived next to human beings who kept their yard looking like a sty without any pigs. However, it seems like the only thing the neighbors are objecting to is the actual presence of the pig itself, which is ridiculous. It is obviously not a farm animal. The size of the pig, the way that it behaves, the fact that it is an indoor pet...these are not the hallmarks of a soon-to-be ham sandwich. To object, not in response to any adverse action (noise, smell, etc...) but only to some imaginary line in the sand is just narrow-minded foolishness.
One day, I will have a house with a yard and save pigs & cows from factory farms... :)
*cattle
Yes this were we stand up and fight speak for them many are kill abuse but we as human that have a heart get no right stop killing them law has to be change they are same as any animal give them life
Not gonna succed 😂
We will succeed our dreams of saving pet animals and farmed animals will come true in these generations to come. One day it will be taboo to eat someone with the same blood color just like our human blood colour
@@ttk519 Well aren't you just a source of inspiration, encouragement, and hope.
The people who reported the pig owners reminded me of Gladys Sharp from Over the Hedge
I have terminal cancer. My pig my emotional support animal. I would not want to get out of bed without her. Pigs are very very clean and very very intelligent. Absolutely great pets. It is ignorant to argue anything else.
Hope you are doing well send love and light !!!
i understand homeowners association but it sux. my fiance who is a country boy hates city people for moving in and making his mom get rid of her horse. we still keep our chickens though.
Let's face it, people don't want to see a pet pig roaming their streets because it may force them to think of pigs as anything other than faceless bacon.
It’s really quite sad how humans are so heartless. I’m one of those who has sympathy for every animal (sometimes even pests). It may sound kinda weird and this isn’t related to my views but once I left a tub of water out and managed to invite mosquitoes and a few days later it was filled to the brim with mosquito larvae 😂 I let them stay because it was kind of cool to watch them swim. But pigs are the animal I feel most sorry for.
I am so sorry your family had to go through this. I have two mini pigs who have shown me a love and have given me support through emotional times in my life just like your Tucker has done for you. I pray for nothing but good things for your family and for Tucker.
the emotional support is a good point and I understand that, I used to be depressed and asked my parents for a pet pig(not mentioning that depressed part to them since I usually keeo things to myself) and it really helped me when I got my pig I felt myself progressing but sadly my pig got stolen from my back yard,we don't have a fence (but he was kept in a cozy pen) so that was a major reason for that happening. my parents offered to buy me another pig but I didn't want another pig because only having my pig for couple of moths I got attached to him so much and I don't want to loose another animal....
He's a lovely creature. I understand and believe you. Some people are total cretins.
This man would not use his child as a tool to keep a pig if it wasn't true, doing
so would be disrespectful and wrong. Not only this, but the fact he has a pig is
a possible sign of being an emotional person.
I have pet pigs and its no different than having a dog. Its so sad to know there are people who have nothing else to do then to sit around and find fault and cause trouble for others.
God bless you Tucker!!!
I am so fed up with those people who think they have the right to tell others how to live. Mind your own business. As long as the animal is cared for properly why would anyone care.
Really, these neighbour’s need to get out more. Tucker is giving so much joy to some many people. Try going to an abattoir and watch what disgusting pain and agony these very intelligent animals go through before arriving on your plate! Animals give so much and ask for nothing back. 🇬🇧💔
Those pigs are beautiful I'd rather a pig than a dog
I HOPE everything went well AND you kept it
"pigs sleep for 16-18 hours" lmaooo my dude is only up for 6-8 hours a day???
exactly... bless you for keeping him.. xo
I have a pet pig and a few dogs. My neighbor complained about my dogs so again the natural thing and got twice as many dogs. This is probably why he never complained about the Pig.
So sorry for your loss. Made me cry.
this guy's rhetoric in the end was hilarious: "pigs are smart -> be smart -> learn from the pig -> don't start a war" 🤣🤣🤣👌
My next door neighbor had a pig for years a bigger one than these and never once did he ever cause a problem for any of us neighbors. He did not smell or make a peep.
As a kid, I knew a man who loved his pig so much that when he died, the man had him buried in the man's Cadillac because the pig loved being in that car. He was not a wealthy man, but loved his pig.
Bored self centered neighbours with nothing to do.Tucker is a beautiful boy.Its none of the neighbours business its tuckers house and property not theirs.
I have an Emotion Support Pig too. He is a kunekune just like Tucker. And truly, these animals are wonderfully intelligent and social. They adore cuddling and being with their humans. From day one, my pig has been a best friend for me.
How does allowing an animal that isn't causing problems set a precedent that would make it difficult to ban an animal that does cause problems?
How is this any different than owning a 180 pound St. Bernard? It's a big, lazy, furry animal on a leash that shits in its own yard, makes low pitch noises, and goes for walks on a leash. What difference does the species make?
That's what I'm thinking. Dogs cause more problems and are more dangerous than a pig. Pigs are peaceful
If only these pig opponents went as hard on human trafficking, unemployment rates, and hunger....
I pray for them to keep this sweet treasure of piggy 🐷. I hate jealous low life neighbors.
Notice most of the people objecting are old. Theyre likely retirees and have too much free time on their hands.
I want a pet pig now!
I just googled it and they hot to keep their pig for one yr and then they have to re-apply for another permit, which they will probably get.. YEA!!! Those neighbors need to mind their own business!.. That sweet pig is their beloved pet!
Did they get to keep Tucker?
Elizabeth Anna Cabral - They ended up moving so they could keep him.
I love animals too but I feel like this didn’t address the opposing side’s views. There was no mention of what neighbors had to deal with
I thought that too... but they grabbed my heartstrings and started plucking them when the man said he lost his 17 month old child in his arms.. man.. I think at that point.. I'd say keep the pig you poor soul... I can't imagine that at all... I love my baby girl so much and could never imagine and don't want to. Idk. I make emotionally charged decisions when kids are involved.🤦🏻♀️have the pig!😭😭😭
It never ceases to amaze me how people get so worked up about an animal that is doing no harm to anyone. WHERE’S THE RUB?
the pig opponents wants to eat pig. when they see a pig thrive as a pet it makes them feel giulty
with just 1 pig, it shouldn't be a problem.
Clean up after them, and it doesn't smell at all.
my wife wants a pig. and i don't.
Cause we live in a block, and our backyard isn't big enough for a pig and 3 dogs.
Some people are miserable, ignorent and nasty. You have my support. Pigs make awesome pets. Kindness from the Netherlands.
Seriously, haven't people got bigger causes to fight that their neighbours pet pigs? 💗🐷💗
God I miss the days when we fought over whether or not someone should be able to have a pig as a pet.
dude, pigs are smart as hell !
It’s their home. It’s their property. If they want to own farm animals, no one should be able to tell them they can’t.
That is about ridiculous! As long as it's not tearing up anybody's yards or property, what is the problem?
Who ever called on them is just a sadist trying to make others as miserable as they are for enjoyment
People worry to much about this kind of thing. Just chill, your grass will grow back. (From a potbelly pig owner)
The pigs are nicer than the Karens complaining about them....
Pigs are beautiful and some people are full complaints over nothing
Pigs are amazing animals. They are number fifth in terms of smartness whereas dogs are somewhere between numbers 23-27. A pig has a mental range of a three year old human child and is extremely loyal and affectionate. They are also actually very clean animals and are litter trained form three days old! It's the pig farmers who keep them in dirty stalls and give them the bad names.
Pathetic people and pathetic laws. There's nothing wrong in mass killing animals and trophy hunting and people get in trouble for rescuing animals or giving them shelter or having a pig that's not harming anyone.
I so agree with this man. My Begian Shepherd Malenoir has helped me through my depression.
Awww he’s so cute!
I'm getting a pig. I think they are precious
Omg, why can't those people mind their own business? As long as the animal is being taken care of what does it matter?
As long as they clean up after him and the neighborhood doesn't smell like a pig farm there's no problem. Let the people have their pig!
Funny how it is perfectly legal to torture animals and create toxic lakes of poop and it is fine in those neighbors book, but keeping one small pig in a way it deserves to be kept is a big issue. I think there is absolutely no reason for this hate, except that people are uncomfortable seeing animal they designate for killing and torturing, as loving pet. Repressed guilt can manifest itself strangely. How pig is more inconvenient that a big dog? We should stop designating live creatures as meat or source of other food or income, that what we should stop doping and eventually craziness will stop. I seriously pity those neighbors what is in their heads and hearts? So much fear and hate... Pigs are impossible not to love, they are so kind and smart, you need to be literally blinded not to see that, but years of buying tortured bacon can do it, I am sure. For disallowing pets the only concerns should be danger, size and noise.
Any update? Did they get to keep tucker?
