The following regulations shall apply to hogs, sows, and pigs:

A. Sanitary Shelter. Hogs, sows, and pigs shall be provided with a dry pen with clean, dry bedding to be changed at intervals frequently enough that the animals are kept free from lice and vermin.

B. Killing. These animals shall be killed in as humane a manner as possible, either by shooting with a rifle in the forehead, then sticking; or stunning with a heavy hammer, then sticking. But at no time shall the animal be stuck without first having been stunned.

C. Care of Sows and Little Pigs. Owners of sows about to bear litters shall give such sows special attention and provide them with bone meal and other feed that is required by a sow in that condition. No pig under six weeks old shall be weaned from the sow. [Ord. 10468 § 2, 1993].
