Are small goats pets or farm animals?
This is Freddie and George, a pair of handsome pygmy goats facing eviction from their home.
Richard Simm
Freddie and George live in Richard Simm's backyard in Richmond, British Columbia and he's now fighting the city to keep them there.
According to local bylaws, Simm's yard isn't large enough to legally keep domestic farm animals. Simm and his wife were aware of the bylaws when they got Freddie and George two years ago, but thought that, as pets, they would be exempt.
"We treat them like pets, they behave like pets, the neighborhood respects them like pets," Simm told BuzzFeed Canada.
"It's not like a there's whole lot of utility that we can garner from them — except they keep our lawn nice and trim."
The city first got in touch a year ago after receiving an anonymous complaint.
