Couple Thought They Brought A Mini Pig Home To Keep As A Pet Only To Find Out It Grows Way Bigger
You'd think that when someone gets a mini pig, they will eventually serve it as a meal for the family. Not for these two roommates in Toronto, though!

Derek Walter and Steve Jenkins have a friend offering up a mini pig for adoption. They decided to adopt the mini pig named Esther, thinking that she will only grow up to 70 lbs. (32 kg). But Esther grew beyond what the two roommates expected. What was once thought as a mini pig is now at a whopping weight of 530 pounds (240 kg).
Esther became more than just a pet to Walter and Jenkins. She became an inspiration. The two have given up eating bacon and are now running The Esther Effect Farm Animal Sanctuary, a shelter for neglected and abused commercial farm animals.
