Peacocks Pigs and a Town in Conflict | Wilmington News

Published 4 days, 5 hours ago
Description

In Leland, a resident named Jay McDaniel is caught in a legal tangle after being cited four times for keeping peacocks and pigs on his property — animals he’s been caring for since before a new town ordinance banned livestock. Fines mount as the town pushes for compliance, but McDaniel insists he’s been trying to relocate them to a barn outside town since the rule passed — a project delayed by weather and contractors. Complicating matters, neighbors’ water tests revealed elevated bacteria levels, possibly from animal waste, triggering a potential court case. While the town says it’s enforcing the law, McDaniel argues he’s invested in these rescued animals and has been working diligently to comply — just not fast enough.
