In re- sponse to this claim, he has included support letters from 9 of the 12 residences and promises to bring in the tenth. Mr. Korth has submitted additional items specifically newspaper articles that record other .incidents in surrounding municipalities. Pigmy goats were classified as house pets. As Mr. Korth claims they are no bigger than german shepherd, golden Labradors, etc. and a lot less noisy. They are kept and treated as house pets. The applicant has submitted 2 names for members to call if they wish confirmation on the classification as house pet. Staff has received confirmation from the Cedar Pet Veterinary Clinic that "Lilly" does not require special vaccinations or innoculations. Dr. Hill DeRoid of the University of Minnesota's Large Animal Clinic stated that vaccinations for tetanus and "over eating" disease are recommended for goats maintained as farm animals but in this case would not be•aphiicable.
