This little piggy can stay at home.
Wilbur, a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig that a Spring homeowner's association wanted to kick out of a family's home, doesn't have to move, a Harris County district court judge ruled Monday.
The Sardo family's one-and-a-half-year-old pig has been the subject of a lawsuit filed by his family to declare him a "household pet" so he can continue living in their subdivision. The Thicket at Cypresswood Community Improvement Association argued the pig violates its rules which forbids pets that are not "common" and "traditional."
District court Judge Mike Engelhart ruled evidence is clear that this pig breed is considered a household pet and that they are not used for commercial purposes. He also said the dispute puts a spotlight on homeowner's associations' restrictions and residents' property rights.
