Today's Social Dilemma, a westside of Madison woman has been told that her miniature pet pig, Rudi, has to go. Rudi has become quite the fixture on a bike path where her owner brings him to see children. Someone ratted out the owner and now the city says he has to go because pigs are prohibited from being in the city. Considering that the pig usually stays inside, shouldn't we either make an exception or change the law? After all, Madison just changed the law allowing people to have more chickens in their backyard.
