Two men adopt a “mini pig”--who eventually grows to over 600 pounds! Today, Steve Jenkins, co-founder of Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, tells Kathy about his journey to becoming an “unexpected advocate” for animals and human dad to Esther the Wonder Pig.

In this episode, Kathy and Steve chat about:

• How Steve and his partner, Derek, became porcine parents to a commercial sized pig
• Their decision to become vegan after meeting Esther
• Esther’s online presence and the impact she’s made outside of the vegan community
• What makes any animal a “wonder”
• The power of animal sanctuaries to open hearts and change behavior
