Esther: wonderful nut that prompted the owners to create a haven for pigs
The mini pigs are fashionable. As such, Derek Walter and Steve Jenkins, a Toronto couple decided to adopt one of these animals. However, as many people have been deceived into buying these pets, also this couple was wrong and, rather than adopt a mini pig, hosted a normal domestic pig.Esther, so they called it. This was rejected by the domestic pig farm where he was born, in the summer of 2012. Derek and Steve knew of the case and decided to embrace the animal, thinking that it was a mini pig. However, with the passage of time, the animal continued to grow, until acquiring the proportions of a normal domestic pig.When they discovered that the animal was not a mini pig, this couple doesn't get rid of the animal, which already belonged to the family, as well as dogs and cats I've ever had.With more than a year and a half and 180 pounds, Esther â€" which is already a phenomenon on the internet â€" prompted the owners to change their lifestyle: Derek and Steve have become vegetarians. Now, after they find out how magnificent could be a pig, these two Canadians intend to open a refuge for animals this spring."The idea is to build an environment that is accessible and interesting enough to attract visitors", says Steve Jenkins, cited by Dodo. "We want to accommodate mostly pigs but we hope to be able to host all kinds of farm animals. We hope to be able to maintain a barn with all or almost all pigs or some sort of House with clean floor, blankets and hay. Anything that stimulates the intelligence of animals and take people to consider us differently. "The idea for the creation of the refuge came from the feeling that this could provide more space to Esther to play. However, Derek and Steve indicate that educate visitors is the first motivation of the project. "View Esther playing as our dogs was the key to unleash the project. We quickly realized that the pigs are not stupid animals, as you might think, and we want to introduce visitors to this reality in a smooth way. We don't want to fill visitors with vegetarian or propaganda in favour of animal rights, we want to stimulate these aspects through direct contact with the animals ".In the long run, these two Canadians expect their refuge becomes a unique venue, that people want to visit not only to see the animals but also to play with and learn from them. "Is a huge task and our goals are very aggressive, we know that. But this has become more of a mission than a dream and we will fulfill this mission, "says Jenkins.Esther follow Facebook.. fancybox-wrap {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 8020; }. fancybox-skin {position: relative; /* margin-top: 20px! important; */background: #222222; color: #74b32e; text-shadow: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; }. fancybox-opened {z-index: 8030;} . fancybox-opened. fancybox-skin {-webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); }. fancybox-outer,. fancybox-inner {position: relative;} . fancybox-inner {overflow: hidden;} . fancybox-type-iframe. fancybox-inner {-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;} . fancybox-close {background: url('wp-content/themes/codistage/styles/fancybox/exit.png') no-repeat; width: 25px; height: 25px; float: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 5px; }/*. ng-gallery-image img {width: 565px; height: 393px;}*/Esther, a porca que mudou mentalidades1of 20jQuery (document). ready (function ($) {var thumbContainerWidth = 0, thumbs = Array (), selectedIndex = 1, thumbIndex = 1, imageOffset = 7; $ ('. ng-gallery-thumbnail-box '). each (function () {thumbs.push($(this)); }); /* thumbnail navigation */$ ('. ng-greensavers-thumb-next '). unbind (). bind (' click ', function (e) {e.preventDefault(); if (thumbIndex< == (thumbs.length-imageOffset)) {$ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). stop (). animate ({left:-$ (thumbs [thumbIndex]). position (). left}); thumbIndex + +; } }); $ ('. ng-greensavers-thumb-prev '). unbind (). bind (' click ', function (e) {e.preventDefault(); if (thumbIndex >1) {$ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). stop (). animate ({left: $ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). position (). left + ($ (thumbs [thumbIndex-1]). position (). left-$ (thumbs [thumbIndex-2]). position (). left)}); thumbIndex--; } }); $ (window). load (function () {/* set thumbnail container width */$ ('. ng-gallery-thumbnail '). each (function () {thumbContainerWidth = thumbContainerWidth + $ (this). width () + 10; }); $ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). width (thumbContainerWidth); }); });
