What is it that you believe is being allowed and who do you believe is allowing it?

It's a potbellied pig. They make great pets, IF you have a large, fenced-in yard, an air-conditioned shed you can load up with hay for their bedding, a pool and mud-wallow for them to bathe and cool off in. Obviously - not an appropriate pet for The Villages.

If it's a statue, then I love it! Good for them for adding a touch of whimsy to their yard.

Better to have a black “lost” pig than a black “lost” bear in your yard.

It is a real live pig. Isn't it too large to be a pot bellied pig? It had become a nuisance running loose. Compliance said it is allowed because it is a pet. I'm waiting for my pet alligator to arrive.

Wild hogs occur in all 67 counties of Florida. They are found in a wide variety of habitats but prefer oak-cabbage palm hammocks, freshwater marshes and sloughs, pine flatwoods, and more open agricultural areas.

As wild animals yes they are "allowed".

That is not a wild pig. Wild pigs are a lot leaner than that little porker and they have much longer legs. That appears to be somebody's pet which, I believe, should be on a leash just as a dog should be.

I think you're all mistaken. That not a pig. That's a photo-shopped picture of a pig.

Look at the missing front legs -- where have you ever seen grass growing so high in a lawn in the Villages that it could completely hide the legs of a 500 pound pig? And I spent my teenage years working on a hog farm, and I can tell you -- even pet pot-bellied pigs don't have shiny fur like a statue.

You've been trolled!
