The Gannone family from Tottenville faces the potential removal of their pet Pygmy pig, Lucy, who serves as an emotional support animal for Michael Gannone. Following an anonymous complaint, local health authorities have mandated the removal due to NYC's regulations on pig ownership. The family, supported by local officials and trending social media campaigns, is advocating for Lucy's right to stay. Their plight echoes previous cases, reflecting ongoing debates about pet ownership, emotional support animals, and municipal regulations.
"After an anonymous neighbor tipped off the city Department of Health and Hygiene, the Gannones were told they need to remove the pig or face mounting penalties before an inevitable removal."
