Jon Stewart recently purchased a farm in New Jersey to provide a sanctuary for farm animals rescued from cruelty.

Stewart has been passionate about animal rights and environmental issues in the past, including climate change deniers and factory farms.

Stewart’s wife, Tracey, is also an avid supporter of farm animals’ rights. She has her own upcoming book Do Unto Animals.

“The joy of interacting with animals as friends instead of using them for human consumption is life-changing,” says Tracey in a press release. “A trip to Farm Sanctuary should be on everyone’s to-do list, but you can also bring a little bit of sanctuary home when you sponsor an animal through the Adopt a Farm Animal Program.”

Stewart recently announced his departure after sixteen years as the host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show."
