Jon Stewart is spending his time away from the screen in the best way possible. The former Daily Show comedian has opened up an animal sanctuary with his wife Tracey where the pair look after all kinds of animals. The stunning twelve-acre farm houses countless animals that have been abused, abandoned and forgotten about, and the Stewarts make sure to give them the love and care they need. <img class=" wp-image-1263140082" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/12/1-2-1024x640.jpeg" alt="" width="699" height="437" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram/@dountoanimals]] The pair started running Bufflehead Farm in New Jersey back in 2013. They host a variety of animals in need of love; including dogs, rabbits, pigs, guinea pigs, fish, and birds. The kind couple has decided that their farm will now be a Farm Sanctuary; part of an advocacy group that is helping to end factory farm animal cruelty and which also cares for abused animals. Take a look at The Stewarts giving a tour of their animal sanctuary: [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KKp-ciSfNw]] The Stewarts' property is the fourth such Farm Sanctuary in the US, and the group has plans to create many more. "We bought a farm in New Jersey with the intention of starting a farm sanctuary of our own with an educational center, but what I'm announcing tonight is that our farm is actually going to be the New Jersey branch of Farm Sanctuary," they previously said. "We're going to build new advocates, new curious learners, and new leaders for this very important movement."

I have been off the television. This is the first applause I’ve heard. "It is a barren wasteland out there. You get used to craft services. Out in the world, there are tables with food — but you can’t take it. It costs money, and very little of it is gluten-free or vegan." <h6>Featured image credit: Everett Collection Inc / Alamy</h6>
