(Effingham, IL) — An Effingham family is being given 30 days to find a new home for its pet pigs. Tara and Brian Payne say they didn’t know that having their pigs, Minnie and Betsy, was against Effingham’s animal ordinances. The Paynes say their pigs are as clean and smart as dogs. Effingham’s mayor says the city sees pigs as livestock and livestock is not allowed to live within city limits.
