Read the following terms of the application for a permit to keep pot-bellied/mini pigs and; after
carefully reading, understanding and considering the following; sign and date signifying your accord
and agreement with those terms.
I understand that, should my application be accepted, I am being granted a privilege, not a
right. I acquire no vested interest in continuing to keep Pot-bellied/Mini Pigs within the City of
Knoxville beyond the stated terms of this permit. I understand that neither the City of Knoxville
nor any of its instrumentalities, agents, or employees makes any representations as to
continued rights to keep, sell, or maintain Pot-bellied/Mini Pigs within the City of Knoxville or
to extend the duration of the permit or grant additional permits in the future. I absolve the
City of Knoxville of all liability flowing from any damage or harm that I or another granted
authority under this permit might cause, by negligence or otherwise, in the enjoyment of the
privileges granted therein. I assert that I have read and understand the relevant provisions of
the Animal Ordinances in Chapter 5 of the City of Knoxville Code and agree to comply with all
relevant provisions of those ordinances governing the treatment, sale, transport and care of
the animals in question and understand the criminal and civil consequences of violating those
ordinances. I further understand that, in the event of a public health or safety emergency, I
agree to immediate compliance with directions of public health officials and Young-Williams
Animal Services and agree to allow those officials to enter, seize control, and/or close my
operations if a situation threatening the public health and/or safety develops or is discovered.
