POT-BELLIED PIGS (Wikipedia).

If you owned a pot-bellied pig in Garden Grove and have been concerned because it wasn’t on the list of animals to be legally kept in a residential area, you can relax.

On Tuesday night on a 6-0 vote (with Councilmember Cindy Tran absent), the city council voted its final approval to an ordinance permitting and regulating the possession of that rotund critter.

The animal is native to the Red River Delta of Vietnam and is kept as a pet, although in its past has been raised for meat. Males can weigh as much as 110 lbs., with females at 105 lbs.
In 2007 the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations declared the “sus domesticus” to be an endangered species.

The ordinance will limit the keeping of no more than two pot-bellied pigs in residential lots, provided they are not bred, are neutered, are tested and vaccinated for certain communicable diseases and restrained on a leash when removed from the premises.

Also, the premises where they are kept must be maintained in an odor-free, clean and sanitary manner and a permit is obtained for each animal.
