No, for reasons best known to themselves, some folk keep pigs as pets in residential establishments.

Defra didn't ask me whether I'm on a farm or town or wherever when o rang them to register. All they asked is if the holding is attached to the house where I live and postcode. And what type of livestock are you planning to keep. That's it.
