After an anonymous caller squealed on her to an animal cruelty hot line operated by the SPCA, Los Angeles County Health Department officers checked out the manure filled, single story house and declared it unfit for pigs to live in, said Madeline Bernstein, executive director of the Los Angeles Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Frisbey was not cited for any criminal offense but will be if she continues to shelter pigs at the house without securing a special permit, Bernstein said.

She said it is illegal to possess the pigs in the city of Los Angeles without such a permit, which limits the number of pigs depending on the space available. They are allowed as pets in some other cities however, including Burbank.

Frisbey whose van sports a bumper sticker that reads: "Men are not pigs pigs are gentle and intelligent" said she took in unwanted pigs in her role as head of an organization devoted to saving the animals.

But the pigs were endangered by overcrowding, the accumulation of manure and the overgrowth of their hooves and tusks, Bernstein said. SPCA veterinarian Chris Cauble said the pigs slept in nike free run doghouses but had free run of the house, including the bedroom and living room, which he said stank and were littered with food.

Ranging in size from 30 to more than 100 pounds, they ate from feeding bowls spread throughout the house and the back yard, Cauble said. The front driveway of the house was filled with boxes of decaying fruit.

Humane Society and SPCA officials said that although Frisbey had good intentions, her home which they said she also shares with three cats, four dogs and an Amazon parrot just wasn't large enough to handle so many pigs.

"People think that it's cute to have these pigs inside their homes," Bernstein said. "But these pigs can be very aggressive and need more space and water to survive."

But a defiant Frisbey, co chairwoman of the Los Angeles Pot Belly Pig Rescue Assn., said she will not change her ways.

"I will sell my house and leave before I give them all up," Frisbey told a small crowd of reporters in front of her home. "A lot of people dump their pigs and if we don't do something they will be killed."

Frisbey said she was also forced out of a North Hollywood home three years ago for taking in unwanted pigs. "It started with one pig and just went from there," she said.

The SPCA took some of the pigs to the Wildlife Way Station in Tujunga Canyon and others to various animal shelters.

Although Frisbey said many homeless pigs were referred to her by the SPCA, Bernstein said she was unaware of any such references.

Neighbors had mixed reactions.

"It's not animal cruelty," Kate Williams Hayes said. "I think it's a terrible thing that they are taking them away. Animal control had referred some of the animals to her, so why are they taking them now?"

But Gene Brewster, who lives next door, said he was ecstatic that at least some of the pigs were being removed. He said a rat problem had developed because of the filth.

I have a difficult time finding shoes that fit as I have a long narrow foot (11AA) Most of the time I wind up buying standard width shoes which make my feet look even larger. asics shoes were available in the AA width and fit like a glove and look great. They are also very comfortable.

I have loved asics cumulus sneakers for years and bought this most recent version of asics shoes. They were terrible - not as comfortable and more narrow with less cushion. They were no comparison to my current gel cumulus! Returned asics shoes and now need to find another brand after many years of loyal cumulus purchases.

The support under my foot feels fantastic! I wish the area for the large toe cheap asics singapore did not have such an narrow feel to it. I hope that it will relax some before I have to quit using asics shoes due to the discomfort there. I already have been wearing the 2E width and can't imagine why an even wider shoe is needed.

This shoe was recommended for me at the local running shop and it offers great comfort both for inside and outside running. I have also used it on the elliptical however it compressed my toes after about 35 mins and wasn't as comfortable. Seems to be fine for cycling but admittedly i have only used it a couple of times for this purpose.

Very light weight

I have issues with my feet and have been told to only wear shoes that are stiff in the middle of the shoe and do not bend except in the toes. I was unaware of asics shoes until I just happen to see asics shoes in a large shoe store and realized they fit the requirement. I have two pair and my feet seem to enjoy asics shoes much better than any other shoes I have tried.

Asics on my feet are hit or miss. asics shoes do the trick. Just the right amount of comfort and support. Don't want to take asics shoes off. They are pleasing on the eye as well. I'm not a big pink fan but love the color!! Thinking asics shoes may be my trotting around town shoes...may have to get another pair to run.

Shoe is lighter but seems like not as cushioned. I am a heavy footed runner and the Kayano 18 was better for me as i feel the pounding much more in the 19. Should have waited for more reviews. Will end up wearing asics shoes for every day work.

I bought the Asics Nimbus a while asics singapore back and loved the shoe. After breaking it in I really enjoyed my runs in the shoe so when I kept hearing that the Kayano was better I figured that I would step it up a notch. I was disappointed as soon as I put the shoe on. The shoe was too narrow for my wide feet. I thought maybe I was sent the wrong size or width but when I checked the tag it did say the correct size and width. I understand that different model shoes will vary but it was clear from putting the Nimbus size 10.5 4E shoe next to the Kayano size 10.5 4E There was about a 1/4 inch difference in width. A small variation I can see but a quarter inch difference from one model to the next that is just bad quality. The shoe is fine for walking but for runs my feet felt like sardines. Very disappointed. Also I don't feel that much cushion in the shoe compared to the Nimbus.

Either buy a bigger size so that the narrow shoe will fit better or pick something else. I think I'm going back to the nimbus. At least I know that show will fit.
