Paulsboro pigs up for adoption as owner challenges borough code
Anyone need a pig?
Paulsboro resident Florence Gruber is putting her 26 pigs up for adoption, but fighting the borough code against owning farm animals.
Gruber is due in court in May, but some of her neighbors have been complaining for awhile about her pets’ smell. The Gloucester County Times reports the pigs have been living in an RV on Gruber’s property since Hurricane Irene flooded the land.
Everything checked out during visits by the Gloucester County Animal Control, a New Jersey Agricultural Agent and the New Jersey SPCA, and Gruber said her pigs are no stinkier than her neighbors’ dogs.
