Heaven Denies Charges Involving Keeping Pigs
A 37 year old man appeared Magistrates Court this morning [Mar 26] where he pleaded not guilty to three charges involving pigs kept in Paget.
Daniel Heaven pleaded not guilty to keeping multiple pigs without the Public Health licence that is required, as well as keeping pigs and causing a nuisance.
After being asked by Senior Magistrate Archie Warner, Prosecutor Cindy Clarke said the maximum penalty for this kind of offence was $4,000.
Answering a further query from the Magistrate, the prosecutor said that the nature of the nuisance was alleged to be odours, noise, and that there were extra pigs. Ms Clarke also commented that, as far as she could recall, this was her first case involving pigs.
The Senior Magistrate agreed and set trial for April 2014 in his Court. The Magistrate granted Mr Heaven bail of $1,000.

Just looking at the photo of that little guy, I can say that he is “SOME PIG”. Yup, he’s “TERRIFIC”, maybe even “RADIANT”, but I am sure he’ll remain “HUMBLE”.
I think you mean ‘HAM’ble.
Charlotte’s Webb – - one of the greatest children’s books ever written!! Great quote! (even though most people probably didn’t get it.) Well done. Very cute pig btw.
Smells like something new to Bermuda! Maybe we can import a little less pork!
I’m just wondering if he’ll call the pigs as witnesses for the defence!
Pretty sure they’d squeal.
Those aren’t pigs! They are just uncured bacon.
Oh for Heaven’s sake.
At least he didn’t end up in front of Magistrate Wolfe.
Hmmm… Is there an issue about farming arable land in Bermuda? Google “Mixed Farming”! Maybe the land zoning should be changed to residential if so…
Someone squealed on him.
This one wins!!!! ROFL!!!!
I smell bacon,Bacon,BACON!
If guilty, This is gonna cost my friend Daniel some bacon!!!
They musta been really “hammin ” it up in court this morning.

Animal farm meets Charlottes Web
So let me understand this, if we can not afford to buy meat in the store we are not allowed to homestead for our survival. What is wrong with this picture.
Did the police get in through a window?
Will the pigs be put down or eaten?
That’ll do, pig…
….wonder who squeeled on him !!!!!!
It is all well & good having fun with a case like this until you are faced with one in your neighbourhood.
I doesn’t matter whether the severe annoyance is pigs, ducks, chickens crowing, dogs barking or even human caused like loud bikes racing up & down, try getting the authorities in the civil service or BPS to get off of their lazy butts & do something.
It takes months, years to get these things resolved going through all of the motions of cease & desist orders & getting people out to do their job. Meanwhile if you are a tenant suffering you are after your landlord or moving out. If you are a landlord you are battling on behalf of your tenant. What if you lose a good tenant because of a neighbour? Can the neighbour be run into court for loss of revenue?
Laugh on. Hopefully you will never have to deal with stinking pigs, ducks or constantly barking dogs.
