Wilmington Selectboard members heard a complaint from Wilmington homeowners who said their neighbors’ pet pigs were creating an unbearable stench, preventing them from enjoying their property or even opening windows. The couple said the trouble started when their neighbors moved in with five pet pigs – but not the typical miniature pigs that make popular pets. These pigs were “good size hogs,” according to the homeowner, weighing between 600 and 1,000 pounds. “As I’m sure you know, with pigs comes a certain about of waste.”
