"Something that hit home for me when I saw our dog cuddling with Esther, is that the idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world,” Steve Jenkins said.

@saralyn4370 2 жыл бұрын

Hi ~ Of course, ALL piglets (baby pigs) are SMALL. Different breeds have a range of adult weight. The smallest breed of domestic Pig is the Juliana which will grow up to be at maximum 75 - 80 pounds. Pot-bellied pigs weigh 70 - 150 pounds but can be as heavy as 200 pounds. So, adult weight depends entirely on breed but no domestic breed of Pig could be called "micro" or "tea cup" based on adult weight. 🐖 🌺 🐷 🌺 🐖

@saralyn4370 2 жыл бұрын

I will add for anyone thinking of getting a pet Pig --- they need to be spayed / neutered at a young age because they become very AGGRESSIVE due to hormones driving them to reproduce. I recently adopted a 2 year old Pig (Juliana breed - smallest pet Pig). After a month of being bitten & attacked when I have been nothing but kind to the Pig, I have 2 choices - get her spayed or euthanized (kill her). Today, I am waiting for a call from my Vet. The concern is that at almost 3 years old, the Pig is too large to safely spay & anesthesia is an issue. The breeder or the first owner of the Pig should have had her spayed at about 3 months old when it would have been much easier & less expensive. Do Pigs make great pets? Yes, they do. I have a friend who has had Pigs for over 10 years. Pigs are WONDERFUL pets! But to be such a pet, they have to be "fixed" (spay / neuter) as soon as your Vet recommends. Your Pig will Thank You! 🐷

I've always wanted a full-size pig as a pet. I taught my big dogs to wear sun glasses and they got some great looks whenever I drove my car with their heads sticking out of the windows. I'd love to do that with a pig. The key to getting the shades to stay in place on dogs is to have two shoe laces, one under their chin and the other behind their head. The shades fall off but remain hanging in place.

Pigs may be mostly for the role of being eaten but when they are meant to be a friend they are just as lovely as any cat or dog

I love you for doing this and being so evolved to realise we are all sentient creatures of this earth- your video shows the love all creatures have if we give them love. Thank you for being such a beautiful human 🥰💕

Slowly we drift towards a totally humanity that includes all of nature and all living things. This man demonstrates that.

I bought a couple of hogs for my daughter to raise for the 4H auction a couple years ago. The 4H fair ended up being cancelled altogether because of COVID so we were stuck with 2 huge hogs . My daughter had spent so much time with them that they were very friendly and, I later realized, very smart. . I knew there was no way I was going to send them to be slaughtered and processed. We made them a much larger enclosure with a few 'amenities' and they are two comfortable hogs . They are named Sherman and Fritz

Totally agree with your comments about what animals teach us about ourselves and about the state of our world and what's wrong with it. So glad Esther found herself in your care, no doubt you are too - she's beautiful 💖

Had this happen to my family when i was 16. Someone had a "potbelly piglet" that needed a home. A year and a half later hes 180lbs. He was alot of fun. My poor brother would have his blankets stolen every night. That pig would get in his bed and take his covers while he was asleep. Super smart. Harrassed the dog. He would come up and bite you or the dog because he wanted to be chased. After he got that big we rehomed him to a pig farm. He became their daughters personal pet. He had his own pen and every morning when she would feed the others he went with her and tagged along all day. They fell in love with him instantly. He lived out his days on the farm as a pet.
