Jon Stewart, former host of the “Daily Show”, and his animal activist wife Tracey have adopted two wayward goats discovered roaming around in New York this week.
The goats were wandering along the N train tracks in Brooklyn, where the NYPD Emergency Services unit shot them with tranquilizer darts in order to move them to safety. Authorities aren’t sure where the two goats came from, but suggest they may have been destined for slaughter at a local meat market.
Now, these two lucky animals are destined for a very different future. Jon Stewart and the team from Farm Sanctuary fetched the animals from local Animal Care and Control and took them to their refuge in Watkins Glen.
Jon Stewart and his wife Tracey have long been supporters of Farm Sanctuary, an organization that rescues farm animals and provides them with lifelong care in a safe environment. Tracey is a member of the board, and in 2015, the animal-loving couple opened a fourth Farm Sanctuary rescue center – named Bufflehead Farm – at their 12-acre farm in Middletown New Jersey.
In 2017, they secured a further 45 acres, which will become a refuge for animals rescued from slaughterhouses, live markets, and roadsides, as well as acting as an educational center. Along with this, they plan to dedicated 15 acres to growing sustainable crops.
I never watched Jon S talk show but was glad to hear that him and his wife joined FS. We rescued a pretty large goat last yr and it was the first for me. He was so powerful and wanted to eat every tree,shrub plant in sight. He was beautiful. I’m useto rescuing dogs,cats,kittens. I could only hope they said he was going to a safe place.
GRATIDÃO!
the Stewarts put their money where their mouth is. They use their success to benefit the world. Excellent!
Amazing
Halal goats for sure.
Thank you so much Darling rescuers for helping little, lost creatures.
Young Lady was speaking so gently and comforting to poor Goats.
Now they are safe and happy.
Eva or kosher goats that escaped. They need to disallow those practices because they are more cruel than regular factory farming, which is cruel too. But the best thing would be to not allow the murder of any animals. That day is coming.
Thank you for rescuing the goats. May they enjoy their new life on the sanctuary for animals.
Jon, you and your wife are truly good people, and you should be commended for your efforts to make this world a better place! Thank you for all the animals lives you’ve touched!
