"We were going to change the world together, but she took my last cupcake." — Esther the Wonder Pig
Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg took a break from her high-profile campaign against climate change this week to hang out with a fellow famous vegan and Earth lover in Ontario.
Only instead of handshakes, the meeting between the two influential figures involved a forehead pet and snout rub.
On Tuesday afternoon the 16-year-old and her father stopped by the Campbellville, Ont., animal sanctuary of Esther the Wonder Pig, a social media sensation with two books written about her and an upcoming feature film deal.
She was in Campbellville for several hours, met a bunch of their animals, fed Esther a cupcake and was able to just “relax and be a kid,” said Jenkins, who co-“parents” Esther and runs the sanctuary with Derek Walter.
Esther’s co-“dad” Steve Jenkins says Thunberg has been a follower and supporter of Esther’s for quite a while and recently asked to visit their property during her trip to Canada. Last week, Thunberg spoke about the dire state of the planet at a climate-change protest in Montreal, timed with similar marches across the country.
“Poor Greta and her father, they’ve absolutely been run ragged the last little while, as everybody knows,” said Jenkins, referring to the barrage of online criticism Thunberg has faced as she delivers her impassioned message on global stages.
“I think the reason that she follows Esther, and hopefully the reason that she came here, was just to get a little bit of a break. She didn’t have a whole bunch of people in her face and she was able to relax and smile and be 16.”
Jenkins said he and Walter chatted with Thunberg and found her to be “100 per cent on top of” her life. “She’s making her schedule, she decides where they go, when they go home, if they go home,” Jenkins said. “It’s incredible. She’s easily the most inspiring and driven person I’ve ever met, and the fact that she’s 16 just blows my mind.”
All that travelling. Heck of a carbon footprint.
When hungry, pigs will eat anything including humans.
That picture tells me she’s already had enough. But poppa and mamma are being paid some big bread....and everyone says no....BS
Good point that she looks fed up. I’m sure mom & dad are telling her “You are not leaving. You are too important to the movement!”
In other words, “”we are making too much money, you can’t quit.”
Snort
“Have they made wedding plans yet?”
as far as I know her co-dads are not married.

She needs to exterminate the rest of us to get “breathing space”.
And they would do it, too.
See Barack’s friend, Bill Ayers.
LOL.
She probably said she hoped to meet "Hogg." Hero of the proletariate youth movement. A homonym. Or maybe a homo for short. I'll stop now. You're welcome.

I found that picture among several and I’m like, “Oh she is DEFINITELY going into the window!”.
And it slid right under the text.
Reminds me of the H.P. Lovecraft story THE THING ON THE DOORSTEP.
