This is absolutely classic.
July 28, 2004 (PACE, Fla.) — Scott Teston is fighting his neighbors whole hog.
He put 17 pigs in his Florida Panhandle yard after neighbors objected to a zoning change request. Teston wanted the property rezoned from agriculture to business.
Now, neighbors are raising a stink about the pig pen next door. But county officials say there’s nothing they can do about the animals because the suburb of Pace is zoned agricultural.
Teston is being a little pig-headed about his rezoning request. He says if it’s rejected again, he’ll put 500 hogs on his property.
I don’t think I have to explain why I enjoy this so much, but hey… more power to the guy. It pisses me off that people (neighbors, homeowners associations) can be so strict about what people do with their own property, and this is a perfect “fuck you”… because, well, pings STINK. He’ll have his business zoning in NO time.

Maybe when his neigbors cave in he can throw a block party and do a big ole’ pig roast.

This is definitely one of those things you don’t see north of the Mason-Dixon.

Whaaaaat? Brandon, you’re on crack. I’d bet that the north has WAY more hog farms than the south.
Not that Florida is the south anyway.

Sweeeeeeeeet!!! You wouldn’t believe some of the nonsense “neighborhood activists” try to pull here in New Orleans. I’d go into detail but theres a 2000-character limit

Folrida in general isn’t the south, but the Panhandle kind of is.
