Personable pig prompts panic over people pushing for peculiar pet permits An alternate title could be "Special Snowflake Saddened." A lady has a pet pot-bellied pig inside city limits where pigs are not allowed. She claims the pig is a service animal. The pig has no training as a service animal, and no service animal organization in the province trains pigs. But she has "special bond" with it. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/pig-home-appeal-1.3805550 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/service-pig-permit-1.3875588 So now she has until January 31st to prove it is a service animal, not a pet.

On one hand, gently caress people trying to hijack the "service animal" label and cheapening it for people who actually need it. On the other, lady just wants to keep her pig and will probably reach for anything to do so, let her keep the drat pig.

Oh yeah, it's a frickin Lifetime movie. http://www.metronews.ca/news/winnipeg/2016/11/07/winnipeg-woman-city-hall-pot-bellied-pig.html quote:Bob Sydor said his daughter--whom he describes as having undergone some “emotional times”—has a real connection with the animal and finds comfort in their companionship. She's been through emotional times, guys.    Aww, what a cute piggie. In one sense I can sympathize -- I, too, have had a "special bond" with my pets and been unwilling to give them up. So I didn't live where I wouldn't be allowed to keep them. I've lived in some real shitholes in order to keep my pets. AFAIK Manitoba is like 98% rural farmland or wilderness. For our American friends, Manitoba is directly north of North Dakota and Minnesota. She lives in the capital city, and is sad she can't have a pet piggie. She could probably move 30 miles in any direction and be in a district that does allow pigs, lots and lots of pigs, and her family would still have a reasonable commute into the city. But no, she needs the City to change the rules for her convenience. Wanker. So yeah, a Lifetime movie.

There are pigs and then there are pigs. That is not a farming type eating pig. I would argue that the law deals with the first, and doesn't effect the latter (that is a pot bellied, non eating pig)

Are you saying that some pigs are more equal than others?

I can certainly sympathize with not wanting to give up a beloved pet, but if it was that important then why didn't she go to the community board (or whatever there is for her city) and seek some type of exception? I'm sure separating the two will probably be stressful on the animal but it seems like she didn't think about that before going and getting it, so my sympathy stops at about the same place she decided to just do it and hope no one catches her. E: Johnny Aztec posted:There are pigs and then there are pigs. I totally agree that the law probably shouldn't apply to a potbellied pig, but you really shouldn't count on a blunt instrument like the law recognizing the difference when it comes to an uncommon animal like that. If she'd gone through the trouble of obtaining some kind of permit ahead of time she could have avoided the whole issue. And if she'd tried and failed to get one she'd have known that if caught she's not gonna slide by on account of her special snowflakeness and they're gonna make her get rid of it. the future is WOW has a new favorite as of 09:44 on Dec 2, 2016 |

One time I picked up my buddy's dog from the kennel or wherever you put a dog when you go on vacation and they called me "Dash's Doggy-Dad." They gave me a mean look when I told them to just call me by my name. I didn't even say it like an rear end in a top hat or anything. Just: "You can call me Solice since I'm not a dog's dad."
