650-Pound Pig Turned Social Celebrity

Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter first thought Esther was a "teacup" pig, but she kept growing and growing.

    Well, no, they are not. I hate to break the news but i have known several people who have endless empathy for animals but absolutely no empathy for humans. They are quick to blame humans and tend to have a sticker on a car that says "i love dogs, it is people i can't stand" Many animal lovers are like misanthropes.

    @@thelinkan3512, not all animal lovers are. But I agree that some are, and the main reason is because they know that humans are responsible for millions of innocent animals (pigs, sheep, cows) suffering on factory farms and slaughterhouses (and the people who try to cause suffering in other people too). But other animal lovers have figured out not to in general make up their minds to hate all people, but just the ones who take part in or are ok with animal suffering on factory farms and slaughterhouses, and people who are ok with other people suffering. All animal lovers out there need to learn to separate those people from people like us who are not ok with any kind of suffering to animals or other people. All animal lovers need to learn to not hate the people who are against the suffering of animals and other people.

    Esther is definitely, like those guys said, a large commercial pig and not a mini pig/ teacup pig. As well as her size, you can tell by her longer snout and bigger ears that she's a large full grown farm pig. I could sort of tell by her piglet pictures too that she wasn't a mini pig piglet by her longer snout and bigger ears. I am glad that these guys have provided a life long safe haven for not just Esther but for 10 other large farm pigs, since they are the types of pigs that are on the factory farms and heading to the slaughterhouse. It seems that alot more people get mini pigs as pets than commercial pigs as pets due to the size of the latter being more difficult to keep around the house and their food expenses being much more since they obviously eat alot more. But more people need to save the big farm pigs since they're the ones, not the teacup pigs, that are suffering in huge numbers on factory farms and slaughterhouses

    You can train a pig just like a dog or cat, but what makes their intelligence remarkable is the complex social lives that behaviorists once believed to be the purview of primates. Mother pigs have been found to sing to their piglets while they are nursing. They excel at video games that would be hard for a young child, and sometimes better than the primates.

    you can tell what will end up as mini pigs, so 70-150 lbs by the ears (minis have sloped back ears), eyes (minis have small, sort of emotional eyes is the best way to describe them), and body (more pronounced belly, shorter legs and length). she doesn't have those features, so anyone with knowledge of what to look for would know the difference. i'm glad they didn't, otherwise who knows what would have become of this angel.

    The shape of the ears are the easiest way to tell the difference between a real pot belly / mini pig and a commercial / farm pig. Mini pigs ears are about half the size in comparison to their farm pig cousin's ears. And yes, mini pigs ARE a real thing, but "mini" is clearly a relative term-- they can range from 70-100 lbs full grown (when fed properly) vs 500-800 lbs for a farm pig.

    650 pounds, not cause they abuse or over feed, because Esther was bred to only eat and make piglets, and now esther gets to be a happy free pig.... But has the genetics of a factory farm pig.

    All meat pigs get that size. Unfortunately, most people don't know that because they eat them.
