New Yorkers with pet pigs in a real mess

New York City's health code does not allow ownership of pigs, and that is putting the pinch on the city's pig owners, who aren't willing to give up their portly pets. Those who have challenged the law, such as Danielle Forgione, contend that pigs make great pets. But the city maintains that the animals are a public health threat because they may become aggressive and can't be vaccinated for rabies. CBS News/The Associated Press (3/25)

Lackadaisical cats are vital to ecosystems
While cats may seem to be relaxed freeloaders, several studies find that they keep small-animal populations, such as rats and mice, under control, thereby protecting other species as well as safeguarding human food from rodent damage. Alan Beck, a professor of veterinary medicine and director of Purdue University's Center for the Human-Animal Bond, attributes this to cats' agile and adaptive hunting capabilities.
