I would personally not like to live next door to smelly noisy pigs. Now, if the pigs live on a farm, and I buy a home next door to a pig farm, that is a different story. They I should have known, or found out, that pigs smell and squeal before I bought a house next to a pig farm. Pigs have the right-of-way in that case, I'd say. But if I lived in a nice, suburban neighborhood, and all of a sudden my neighbor gets the urge to purchase smelly, loud pigs and put them in the back yard ... I would not be happy.
As for cutting down big, old trees ... that would make me cry. I suppose from living in Wyoming, where there is one tree per 100 miles, it just breaks my heart to see a tree die, especially a big, old one.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
