Jon has always been outspoken against animal cruelty, but even he still seemed to be cognizant of how unexpected this new career move is, saying, “I’m a little uncomfortable”.

“Our hope is to get a lot of school groups in”, Tracey told The New York Times.
Per a press release from Farm Sanctuary, the comedian’s wife details the importance of interacting with animals, and further calls the experience “life-changing”.
According to the New York Times, Jon and his wife Tracey will start welcoming abused animals in the coming months in Bufflehead Farm, a 12-acre land in Middletown, New Jersey that they bought back in 2013.
Tracey Stewart recently published a book, “Do Unto Animals: A Friendly Guide to How Animals Live, and How We Can Make Their Lives Better”.
During his 16-year tenure at the Daily Show, Stewart evolved from a comedian into one of the most powerful voices of the Millennial generation.
In the first section, Ms. Stewart’s witty prose is great for the parent-read-along to maybe learn a thing or two about spaying and neutering and the gross number of (6-8 million) dogs and cats who sit stagnant in animal shelters across the country, and the 3-4 million who are euthanized each year. “All I can do now is be happy that I had that opportunity”, Stewart said. My disappointment lies in the fact that she doesn’t reach beyond that by asking people to keep animals off their plate and asking, in her very likable and soothing way, that they not participate in events where animals are exploited.
Not surprisingly, most of the people here are vegans, including Tracey Stewart.
“A trip to Farm Sanctuary should be on everyone’s to-do list”, she says, adding, “but you can also bring a little bit of sanctuary home when you sponsor an animal through the Adopt a Farm Animal Program”. On their website you’ll find nutritional information on eating and living the healthy lifestyle and updates on campaigns and projects impacting people and animals.
There are animals that were blinded, thrown to the side of the road or left to die in piles of other dead animals.
