If you live in McKinney and you want a pet pig, the city is no longer going to stand in your way.
Last night, the McKinney City Council modified an ordinance to allow residents to keep potbelly pigs as pets. This comes after a request from Mckinney resident Bridgett White, who has a pet pig herself.
"Your life will never be the same," White said at last night's meeting, warning that house pigs are a big commitment. "Being almost Christmas, I don't want people to run out and get a cute little pig not knowing that she's going to grow to possibly the 145 pounds that our [pig] is."
White is encouraging people to do some serious research before rushing off to buy a potbelly pig.
Under the city’s rules, families are only allowed to have one miniature swine under 150 pounds per single family home.
