2:29 showing dog and pig side-by-side, "The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world" fantastic quote
And super wrong. No a pig's life does not matter nearly as much as a human's life
@@matthewmadsen3917 does the life of a human criminal matter more than an innocent pig?
@@dominic6055yes
What do the dogs eat?
The most white woman quote possible. Some animals are prey, some are predators. Everything will eventually be eaten by bacteria and returned to the earth. Both you and this guy would change your minds about the value of life if you were starving in the woods and had to kill to eat.
Esther really won the lottery when this guy adopted her. Heartwarming story.

or she will be bacon

That there's a lottery to be won is still a travesty
wow, pig has a better life than many humans!! 😂unconditional love, daily caresses, swimming pool, great food, fine bed, and not a worry in the world!! 😅❤great story!
Pigs, cows...all animals are so adorable and we should not kill, hurt or use them in any way. Let them live and bring happiness to this world ❤
If you're anything but vegan you're just a hypocrite
Happiness in my stomach
@@OneThrustMan don't mention bacon
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
amen to that💚
Absolutely adorable story. Glad that there are still good hearted people like this in the world.
What’s good hearted about this? She just wants food, not affection.
There are PLENTY of good people in the world, stop watching mainstream news.
@@airraverstaz What does mainstream news have to do with anything? Of course there are still good people out there, but there's just as many bad ones too.. not watching news about them isn't making them go away, it's just ignoring them, which is part of the problem.
unlike you. do better mugiwara2k
@@johnle6364 You know, that might actually meant something if it came from someone other than a random person on the internet 🤔
I was shocked when I read that pigs actually grieve and are highly intelligent.. they recognize their family members and feel all the emotions.
yeah I was a bit disappointed he didn't talk about how smart she was, when they were still living in the appartment so she was like under a year old she would outsmart the dogs in playing with toys that give out treats and empty them in seconds. Pigs are incredibly smart and sensitive animals. (No shade to dogs, they're amazing in their own right, it's just to illustrate how nonsensical the way we treat pigs as lesser)
yup they are. I took care of one once. very smart
Not only that, but they prefer vegetation rather than the stereotype that theyll eat their own fecal matter. That's something that happens when they aren't fed properly and allowed to seek out what they really want
@@Ausf Treating pigs as food is the same as treating them as lesser beings than dogs.
How did he think it was a micro pig when he says it was a commercial pig.
Commercial pigs aren't micro. They food, eat them!
The man has a heart of gold.
RIP Esther - you made all our lives better and gave us so much to smile, laugh and love about!
did he eat it?
@@HexOmega3113lol, lmao even
@@HexOmega3113 will you eat your friend when he dies? If you have any friends, of course.
@@viviandarkbloom8847 i will
@@viviandarkbloom8847 Long pig.
She definitely went to the right home. No such thing as micro pigs, just baby pigs. A lot of people would've gotten rid of what they thought was going to be a small pig that turns out that big.
I have a mini pig 2yrs old, small dog sized. there real but rare
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.
🐖 🌺 🐷 🌺 🐖
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! 🐷
@@saralyn4370 Do not euthanize them! They shouldn't have to pay the ultimate price for your ignorance!
@@HoloScope ok why don't you take him then
Started out adorable and silly but then quickly went to quite profound and deep. Well done.
And could end in murder
Tasty bacon

Man: I love pigs.
Man's Woman: YOU PIG. YOU JERK.
Man: I was talking about the pig, dear.
Man's Woman: Then why don't you marry it, BRIAN!? >:(
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.
My heart just opens out when I hear people like Steve speaking about his values and love of these beautiful creatures. God bless Steve and his sanctuary. And God will continue blessing him, as he has. This video proves his big heart. A great human being.
That pig is nowhere near 600 lbs
What a beautiful story! This is a highly intelligent man who learned a lot from a highly intelligent animal! Esther is a real sweetheart & so is he.
"The idea that some lives matter less than others..." Exactly right sir , you are doing a wonderful thing ❤️
If the choice was between your child or your pig, most people would rightly choose their child.
I know! I was in tears when he said that!
@@Ausf but what if the pig is your child 👀
Tru. That's why I value plant life as I value animal, so I eat both.
@@Ausf I know right? Children taste so much better
I’ve been following Esther’s story for some time now. “Farm” animals feel happiness, sadness, contentment, depression, glee, pain, fear, trust, etc just like our typical companion animals. All creatures deserve to live a life free of cruelty and neglect
I prefer to just eat bacon.
@@maybeitsyou1317 ah so, laziness
@@maybeitsyou1317 well done sir. this was original. you're a genius. you must have an incredible career.
@@ZerokaoX Can you use chat gpt to come up with a better troll comment? Your community college 800 combined sat score comment isn't doing it for me.
@@maybeitsyou1317 Same here. When I see pigs I only see bacon and sausages. I would NEVER keep such a dirty beast in my house. Only in my plate.

I LOVE Esther and her dads! Their sanctuary has given a chance for life and love to so many animals. They are beautiful humans and great dads to one of the most sassiest girls on this planet! ❤️❤️❤️
is it healthy for a pig to eat all that junk food including chocolate?
Are they a gay couple?
@@boohere2 No it's not. Although he's helping a lot of animals, I don't believe he's put much thought into keeping them healthy. At least not by giving them cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, etc...
@@boohere2 in small portions its fine
@Rock Yup
Love these guys and their love for animals.
Me too! 🐷💞
Chris P. Bacon looks amazing!
Are they a gay couple?
@DIARRHEA XL aww, poor baby. Colors trigger you?
This guy is gay
This is the sweetest thing ever. This made me cry. I love her personality. Thank you for giving her a happy home and making her smile. It brings me joy to see her happy. 💕
Inspiring, heart-warming how Esther has transformed your life! Thank you for saving these beautiful, precious animals ❤
Esther’s life is so beautiful, what an inspiring being. Thank you for taking care of her and being there for her and so many other animals. I’d love to do this someday.
What a pussified soy boy you are.
More animals need to be Rescued from sick Factory Farms 🐥 or at least left alone
NOBODY will break into his house! They'd get squished by the watch pig!!
This is so cute. And yes you have to be careful of micro and teacup pigs. They are usually underfed and not micro pigs at all. A lot of them get abandoned when they grow full size. I'm so glad you had the space to keep her and are spreading such a wonderful loving message!
This is what live is all about. I loved Ester's story and your description of your own changes. This is so heart warming and happy it's a powerful a "energy bar" for the soul. Thank you.
I like the way you think. I feel the same. Thank you for caring about animals as much as you do
love esther and love him!!!!! going plant based going on 9 years ago after working on a dairy farm and seeing the cruel (and gross unhygienic) realities of animal agriculture was one of the best things ive done for myself
Sounds like you worked on a conventional farm. Doesn’t surprise🤣
To be honest, being a vegan or driving an electric car will not significantly reduce our footprint, you still condemn millions of animals to death so you can live in your home, in your city, you kill millions if mouses, rats, birds, insects, so your crops for your food can be grown,
you polute the planet with all the things you use, from the extremely toxic industry of ion bateries, your clothes, the paints for your clothes, homes, cars etc, the metallurgical industry for everything yo se around you
Its impossible, saving the planet by being vegan its like when neonaxxis say hitler was good because he was a vegan...
We need to change a lot, there is belief in science, that affirms that civilizations to technologically advance, my be undistinguishable from the ecosystem
Good for you
@@suitedsuperhero3155 yeah, that's where most meat comes from. The ones claiming to be cruelty free still live and get killed in the same way than other farmers.
@@RED-my9hl not true
If we had more people like this guy it would be a much better world
We would all live in Peace
Why don't you get a pig?
It would make it hard to eat Tonkatsu and Gyudon. It could become illegal like drugs 😢
@@aimanmaraidi2427 exactly , the same cult that thinks nature is homophobic because heterosexual couple get to have kids for free while LGBTQA +-@$^& have to pay money
There's no reason people can't be vegan
What a great man! I hope his life and his sanctuary goes well forever!!!
She's smiling all the time so cute
Warms my heart. Thank you for rescuing them and giving them a home and a safe place!
I think it’s a true testament to the potential health of an animal when given nothing short of pure love all of its life… 600 lbs of love!!! What a sweet dad. So beautiful.
What a lovely man and his lovely pig 😊
I help at a small farm/petting zoo and the comparison between pigs and dogs is very apt. Compared to cows and sheep our pigs are very intelligent, much closer to a dog in curiosity and reasoning.
She is gorgeous. Love her!
Awwww!! That's the kind of humans that should be on this planet.
What a beautiful story. Such a sweet man.
Happy to see someone caring about them. ❤
this is so beautiful! And such an important message about speciesism and how we should treat everyone with kindness and respect! Lots of love for this guy and his sanctuary! ❤
What is speciesism. Is that even a real thing?. Never have i heard or seen speciesism 😅.
Are you talking about how humans consider human life over animal life?. If so then it will never change. Human life is just better than animal life to us humans.
@@timexyemerald6290 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciesism
@@timexyemerald6290 btw not really hard to understand or look up..
@@timexyemerald6290 hello. Yes, speciesism is the belief that humans are superior. Whilst this may not change rapidly, there has been growing concern for animals particularly in the last 100 years. Hopefully we will one day see a society that treats animals as equals.
@tombradshaw1378 still I prefer hunting for slaughter , give the animal chance to fight for life as it's natural instinct before I can hunt down to cook
Lovely connection between these two! This is why it's important to be compassionate of animals.
It's his love that made her grow...bigger than anyone imagine
I love this ❤❤❤
Or the fact that there is no such thing as a mini pig
@@tbella5186 or that....

no it was the rubbish he fed it!

Esther passed away about a month ago. She was the sweetest baby
My gosh what nice Ester is. Really heartwarming to see, so much love!
Hi,
Oh my gosh Esther is beyond precious! The work you do in taking in animals and giving them amazing love and care is phenomenal! Beyond amazing!
This guy is an angel.
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.
How precious, I love how her and the doggy lay by each other
I am crying little a baby. God bless you guy. Thank you fur all of your hard work. GOD BLESS YOU!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🐖🐕🐕🐕
Thank you for posting this, I too, had a pet pig (Sally) and I loved her so much. She would follow me around like a dog, but she was smarter than a dog...thank you so much for showing people what wonderful creatures pigs are...
That guy is my future husband. Absolutely loved this video. Extremely happy that he opened up a farm sanctuary. There aren’t many of those around. It’s very sad how animals are treated. Thank you so much for caring and thank you for sharing your video.
Somehow your last words about the world and meaning of life make my eyes produce tears. Absolutely agree with you. Thanks for doing great job! I wish you good health and all the best!
As a rescue farm, I LOVE THIS, YOU GUYS ARE WONDERFUL
I’m in tears. How adorable! This is why I am a vegan (12 years and counting).
How is your health?
@@BigBodyBiggolo ~ My health is great. I have no health problems. I eat health and exercise an hour a day. I have never been happier or healthier.

Absolutely right, you are wonderful and Ester is gorgeous ❤
So sweet that he kept it. ALL animals deserve this type of love and treatment.
So does human fetuses
@de mask us why do yall bring abortion into everything? This isn't about fetuses its about the pig. Ik this was 6 months ago but this is so annoying to see.
@@bryn1063 -- because many people think a baby in the womb is worthless. They are absolutely defenseless. It's weird that someone puts a pig or a rat on the same level as a human baby.
@@Cowdog1 Because it's not a baby, it's a fetus. Also because it's the mothers who are voluntarily aborting it, it's not being done for the consumption of random strangers.
@@bryn1063 Because she’s a woman.
*Ester's* smile was soo sweet... I wish all these beautiful creatures a *HAPPY* and *HEALTHY LIFE* . Thank you for taking care of these amazing animals. Please don't give her all those processed foods.
Hunting is the most cruel free way to get meat. Commercial meat industry is horrible.
God bless you dude to make all lives matter as long as your around! I love you and Esther!! I hope for many many happy years ahead and nothing but the best!!
My respect to you kind Sir. 🙏❤️ God has a special place for loving, kind, compassionate people like you in heaven. As I always say, kind men are the best!
Having a pet is the best feeling. This animal was here to help us grow as humans. To value and love all of life ❤
So true!
No, that's not why animals exist. They don't need to "help you grow". Animals live on this earth and therefore have the right to be here and not be exploited, abused, and tortured for the convienience of mankind.

You’re amazing! The world would be a better place with more people like you ! And Esther 😂
Pigs are such empathic animals. It's cruel to slaughter them.
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 💖

She's cute but please cut the sugar so she can live a healthy life.
Yeah, that's a lotta sugar.😬
Lol the reason she so big is because the gene was modify to sell you those big juicy ham and bacon pieces the last thing you should worry about is it eating much suger
@@Big_Boss14 You ain't wrong, son.😅😅
