Chef The Pig Given Three Months To Leave Town Thursday, December 5, 2013 Mayor Hazel McCallion wants Chef, a pot-bellied pig who's been living in Mississauga since August, out of her city. However, in an October council meeting she reluctantly agreed to a three-month reprieve. The Toronto Star reports that police noticed Chef when they responded to a medical emergency at Manfred Vaegler's residence. The pig belongs to Vaegler's friend and was given his name "because all he thinks about is food." Vaegler says Chef is "not much different than a dog" and the neighbours are fond of him. McCallion has less love, telling councillors that "a pig should be on a farm, not in an urban setting." Mississauga's animal control bylaw prohibits keeping farm animals in residential dwellings, but lately there have been petitions to allow for "urban farming" of chickens and other animals. Better Farming is currently preparing a report on this issue. BF Ontario's Aquaculture Industry Comes of Age Fur Sales Have Soared Over The Past Five Years
