Arlene send me an email about this post and I can't believe Ashland is being this goofy. Athena is offended that your city thinks pigs are that dangerous!

Pigs arent dangerous, but they need to know their place in Ashland.

In Athena's case it would be on a leash, just like a dog and promise unlike a dog, she isn't going to far if you have food.
