Help Fund the Esther the Wonder Pig Farm Sanctuary!

Who's Esther the Wonder Pig? An Ontario couple adopted a pig that was rejected from the commercial farm she was born on in 2012. She was too small to be worth raising for the farm (lucky for her!), and so the couple was told she was a "mini pig," took her home, and welcomed her to their family. But this is no ordinary mini pig, and so this is no ordinary story. Micro pigs grow up to 65 lbs. and miniature pigs can grow up to 200 lbs. When they first took her home, Esther was a wee piglet at a mere 3 lbs. Well, Esther is 530 lbs. now! As Esther grew and changed, so did the lives of Derek and Steve.

Esther has become an internet sensation that even has her own Facebook page (with many more fans than my own can boast, I should mention). The loving couple that adopted Esther have been bringing awareness to the level of intelligence pigs possess, and also how emotional they are.

Now they are taking it a step further. Derek and Steve have started an Indiegogo campaign to raise $400,000 (a fraction of what the Reading Rainbow Kickstarter earned in a single day) to start the Esther the Wonder Pig farm sanctuary. First they saved Esther, and now they're on to save many more critters. But they need your help! In 65 hours, the Indiegogo campaign will end. Take a moment, and make a contribution, even if it's only a few dollars. I made a contribution, so please do so if you can, too. Together, we can make a difference.

  14. What a great cause! I truly believe that if LOVED and nurtured, people and animals grow much better. If this is true, then I can only imagine the amount of love Esther has been shown. I will gladly contribute so that other animals can know the same life!
