Zoning for pot belly pig

Question
Hi there,
I can't find out for the life of me, whether or not Philadelphia has zoning laws against owning a companion pig. Or if I could obtain special permission if for some reason they do. I live in the far NE and in a big house with a big yard that would be perfect for an indoor pig, but I am afraid to get one until I know I could keep it without any issues arising.

Answer
Pet Pig Zone at http://www.petpigzone.com/PPZ3/ specializes in zoning issues. They can give you the current status of Philadelphia zoning, which has changed several times, and help you find out about any other possible restrictions, such as home owners associations.
