A new law has the owner of an emotional support pig crying wee wee wee at home.
A 100-pound potbelly pig has become the subject of a criminal investigation and longtime scrutiny in the upstate New York village of Canajoharie, where owner Wyverne Flatt, 54, has been harboring the porker as new legislation determined the emotional support animal couldn’t be legally kept in his home.
But Flatt — who is readying for criminal trial with risk of prison time and $18,000 in civil fines to defend his supposedly soothing swine named Ellie — says that the town’s new laws against keeping farm or domesticated animals are just a bunch of hogwash.

Stopped at a small gas station in West Virginia, years ago.
The owner had a 3-legged pig walking around. I asked him for the story on the pig.
‘When it was young, its squealing in the barn was so loud and it woke us up in the house. We saw the barn was on fire and it had saved the barn, our farm equipment and all the animals.
We moved it into the house and one night it woke us up, squealing loudly and we found a burglar had broken in. The pig saved our lives and our treasures.
I asked why it only had 3 legs and he said, ‘Hey, a pig that valuable, you don’t wanna eat all at once!’
I’m more offended by the 450 lb pig’s ya see at Walmart.
See my tag line.
You read that right - a HORSE. Miniature, but still 5’ tall.
It just stood in the isle, leaned froward with take-off.
Didn't $hit or piss in the isle either.
Should be grandfathered in until such a time as this pig dies.
Once while driving north on I-95 towards DC, I saw a man hitch hiking with a pig under his arm in the rain. I picked him up and asked for the story on the pig. He said, he found it alone and didn’t know what to do with it. Tried some shelters but they don’t take pigs...
I suggested, since we are going to DC, to try the National Zoo and dropped him and his pig off there.
Three days later, I was driving back south on 95 and saw the same guy hitch hiking with the pig under his arm. I picked him up and said, ‘I thought you took the pig to the zoo.’
He said, ‘I did! And we had such a good time, now we are going to King’s Dominion!’
If dogs have such a sensitive sense of smell, why do they always stuck their nose in any other animal poop they come across?
They have to practice.
Better than a “yap-yap dog”, in my opinion.
Yes,I forgot about that.
Apparently “if some is good, more is better” without an upper limit.
An amazing range of orders of magnitude sensitivity...
You can also put lipstick on them, but they still look like Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, Nancy Pelosi, and Sonya Sotomayer.
It’s time to PUT AN END to this crap. If you need an animal for emotional support - just check-out instead. Your purpose in this world has been served.
The problems of living in a totalitarian DemoMarxist state.
His wife weighs only 100 pounds?
The crazies are running the asylum.
Let me off of this merry go round....
I’m going to bet the real reason they are going after him is that he’s a Trump supporter.
A crackling good story.
