1234, piggy poop on the floor!

A few days ago I counted 9 pigs (1 big mamma with 6 kids and 2 suckling babies) by the garbage bin of 1 2 3 4 and More store in Cayhill. The smell of the garbage containers was horrible. The pigs were fighting for food.

Cay Hill is a crowded low income residential area and there is even a children's playschool right by this location too. I wonder who will be held responsible if someone, or many, get sick and it is traced to pig droppings? Would the connection, if there was one, even be made?

And it's not just pigs, but also goats and chickens too. Not to mention the possibility that these animals could get knocked down by a car and severely injured or killed, left to rot on the side of the road.

Who is responsible? Who is the commissioner in charge of Public Health, who is in charge of the departments who should be checking on these things? Is this a job for agriculture, do we have such a dept? Are there any laws? Are they enforced? Or is the government a failure in this area too, like so many others?

One, Two, Three, Four.
I see piggys at the door,
spreading garbage on the street
pooping too, it's on your feet!

Five six seven eight
why do we tolerate
Complain or speak up if you dare
Sometimes I wonder if they care.

It's about time people started being held to account, if they are no good at their job then get rid of them. If their department is understaffed, underfunded and incapable of functioning then they must speak up. Perhaps they don't realize that their political masters are going to use them as a scapegoat when the piggy poop hits the fan.
