Jessica’s Quotes

“What made pigs different? Why were they bred for food and held in captivity, while dogs and cats were welcomed into our homes and treated like family? Aside from physicality, we could see no difference between her and our dogs.”
― Caprice Crane, Esther the Wonder Pig: Changing the World One Heart at a Time
