Are Pet Pigs Legal in NYC?

It was a first for me in NYC.  I was having lunch when I saw this guy walk by with a pet pig on a leash.  is it legal to have a pet pig in the 5 boros?  Also, I recently saw goats and Shetland ponies in someone’s back yard in Gerritson Beach.  Are either goats or ponies legal?  I know there are commercial stables, but can someone have 6 or 8 little Shetland ponies in their back yard?  They were very cute.

as far as i know – it depends on the pig, and how it is kept.   Certain pigs are classified as livestock, while “teacup” potbellies may not be ( i don’t know the specifics, sorry)  – it also depends on whether they are “at large” – they need to be penned, cooped, or etc. things changed about 10 years ago, but i do remember that at some point, they were governed by the same leash laws as dogs.

Well they are smarter than many humans.  And, if you actually knew anything about pigs, you’d find out that they are, in fact, very hygenic.

I’m pretty sure it’s not, pigs aren’t exactly the most hygienic of creatures, and with apartments being the most utilized type of housing in NY, it’s very unlikely. [URL=http://www.versarobes.com.au“]Wardrobes Melbourne, Shower Screens, Built-in Wardrobes[/URL]
