That was the attitude of the dude down the road from me who started his own impromptu pig farm. The folks who are outraged by what they can't do on their own land often also are the folks who don't think beyond step 1 and don't care if their pig shit stinks and runs off everywhere.
It does depend on location. My town, for example, is a "right to farm" community which--while it doesn't give you carte blanche to do anything you want that's agriculture-related on your property--does give fairly broad latitude.
Local city allows chickens (just a few) and out by me some towns allow a lot more, but there's also proper space to do those things.
Pig farm guy was right on the border and he did NOT have enough space for a bunch of pigs. Thankfully the town already had rules about pigs. Pig farms STINK.
