Wilbur Sardo is a neighbor of ours, and a most unusual one at that. He is a miniature pot-bellied pig and has caused quite a stir since he appeared in Christmas 2010.

The Home Owners Association (HOA) is locked in battle with the family over whether or not Wilbur is classed as livestock or pet. Experts have been called and deposed in a legal battle that has ensued since the HOA sent a letter to the family asking that Wilbur find a new home back in July.

Wilbur can only hope that the Seventh Commandment of Animalism is interpreted in its final form, the same way it was restated by Napoleon and Snowball - “All animals are created equal but some animals are more equal than others.”

And if you think that’s unusual, think again: just round the corner in another neighborhood another resident has just won a battle with their HOA to keep their pet kangaroo!

Can’t wait to see what’s next...
