Derek Walter and Steve Jenkins loved pygmy piglets, so one day they decided to adopt one. They even gave the little piglet the cutest name – Esther. As time went by, they learned that they ended up with more than they bargained for. Their little piglet turned out to be a full-size pig weighing 650lbs.
Learning that they actually adopted a commercial pig, didn’t change anything. As a matter of fact, Esther changed their lives for the better. They even changed some lifestyle choices. When they realized how friendly and intelligent Esther is, they couldn’t even imagine eating other pigs, so they became vegans. The couple learned to love animals thanks to Esther, they even opened up an animal sanctuary on their farm.
Esther is also a big Instagram star with 516k followers. She even got named influencer of the year at the annual Libby Awards.
