Montpelier, Vermont - There is a movement to keep the image of a pig on 30 police cruisers.
The image, which is believed to have been on the cars for several years, was noticed last week by a state trooper while he was washing his car. It's thought the pig was placed on the cow by a prison inmate.
After it was announced that the image would be altered back to its original form, a page called "Save the Vermont Pig" was started on Facebook and gained more than 500 "likes." At this moment however it seems the page has been removed.
Another issue that came up with the design is with the cow. State law dictates the cow must be red, not red and white, in tribute to the Devon cattle brought to Vermont by English settlers. Two hundred people have signed an online petition.
Vermont Department of Corrections said last week new decals would be made
at a cost of almost $800, but state police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro said
so far none of the offending decals were removed.
