EGG HARBOR TWP. N.J. - There’s a battle over pigs and chickens going on in Egg Harbor Township. A family with four rescued pigs and several chickens has been given a notice to get rid of them because they are a violation of township ordinances.
The family says they’re not giving up their pets.The issue started in December when the Ferriers got a notification that their pets violate the rules of the township.
The Ferrier family moved into their dream home in May of last year."The first thing I wanted to do was get chickens because look at this place," said Brianna Ferrier. "I stumbled upon this Facebook page and was like, look at these pigs that need to get rescued, and I was like I’m doing it 110 percent.
There’s no way I can let these babies be in inhumane conditions."They rescued Archie and Panchie and set them up in their new homes.
