Change rules to allow burials of pet pigs

Petition Details

Allow people to bury their pet pig as they would their pet dog. If the pig doesn't live on a farm then it should counted as a pet and not farm stock.

Additional Information

We had a pet pig who lived at home for 2 years then in a private field for 2 years. He was our pet, a part of our family. When he passed away we were hit twice as hard to be told we couldn't bury him. This caused even more heartache at a time when we were already grieving so much. This rule needs to change as many people have pigs as pets.
