It is illegal to allow your pigs to run free.

The Law

Wandering livestock was a massive nuisance in early agrarian communities, notorious for trampling crops and knocking over fences. Scituate implemented this to ensure farmers took responsibility for containing their ravenous swine. Modern residents are thankful, as encountering a wild hog on your morning jog is less than ideal. It is a rural law that outlived the town's agricultural prime.
