3 pigs still have a Lake Forest home

A Chicago-area judge has upheld Estelle Walgreen's right to keep three pigs on her suburban property despite a petition from 300 neighbors about the smell.

Walgreen, moved into the house on 2.3 acres of land in Lake Forest, Ill., last year after her divorce from a member of the Walgreens drugstore family, along with two 200-pound teenage pigs named Pinky and Piggy. She has since acquired a 2-year-old pig named Cooper, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Tuesday, Circuit Judge Mitchell Hoffman frustrated Walgreen's neighbors and upheld the City Council's decision to allow the pigs to remain until at least 2011 when an ordinance regulating farm animals takes effect.
