His future once more secure, Albert, the Halloumis family’s pet lamb, watches a children s television programme in the comfort of his Fendalton home yesterday. With him is Maria Halloumis, aged eight. The Waimairi District Council received complaints about the noise made by the nine-month-old ram. The council’s by-laws prohibit stock from residential areas, and it seemed that Albert would have to seek new pastures. However on Monday the council’s finance and by-laws committee deferred a decision on an application by the Halloumis family for dispensation. Yesterday, the family was told that Albert had been reclassified as a domestic pet and could stay, provided he did not wander from the family property.
