Since stepping down as the host of Comedy Central’s
The Daily Show
in August, Jon Stewart has kept the public guessing about his future endeavors. Nearly three months later, he has unveiled his latest project: a venture into animal rescue. Stewart, along with his wife Tracey, a former veterinary technician, has acquired a farm in New Jersey. They intend to convert it into a sanctuary for animals and an educational hub, as reported by
Yahoo! News
. This farm will become the fourth facility associated with
Farm Sanctuary
, a group dedicated to saving and rehabilitating animals from industrial farming operations. While Stewart’s new role might seem softer compared to his previous one, he has consistently championed animal welfare, often addressing the subject on
The Daily Show
Over the years, the Stewarts have saved nearly a dozen animals, including various farm animals, as reported by
The A.V. Club
. These animals, along with others, will now reside on the couple’s 12-acre property.
I feel somewhat out of place. Having spent the past two decades deeply involved in Washington politics and the media world, I’m not entirely sure how to interact with individuals who possess genuine empathy.”
