There’s a battle over pigs and chickens going on in Egg Harbor Township. A family with four rescued pigs and several chickens has been given a notice to get rid of them because they are a violation of township ordinances.
The issue started in December when the Ferriers got a notification that their pets violate the rules of the township. The Ferrier family moved into their dream home in May of last year.
They rescued Archie and Panchie and set them up in their new homes. They set up a pen for their chickens and roosters and saved two more young pigs named Anna and Elsa, becoming advocates for their pigs and all pet pigs. When the township learned of the animals’ new address, they served the family an eviction notice for their pets. A letter to the family from the township explained that they couldn’t have a "piggery" or pigs at all in Egg Harbor.
"We cannot be a piggery or in the business of raising pigs." Dave Ferrier said. "You saw here tonight we are not a piggery and we are not a business. We think that defeats that argument."
