?resize=1024%2C616&ssl=1Primarily known for being one of the most recognized TV show hosts and comedians of our time, Jon Stewart has recently become
an animal hero. Thats right, he can now also be known for rescuing and sheltering abused animals. Jon and his wife, Tracey Stewart, already turned their 12-acre farm into the New Jersey branch of Farm Sanctuary. Then, in October 2016, they bought another farm Hockhockson Farm in Colts Neck, New Jersey.
Tracey has been vegan for a very long time. Jon, however, used to consume meat quite regularly. Tracey wrote in her book: While I dont eat animals, my husband does, and due to our mixed marriage, we have decided to present both diets to the kids and let them come to their own decision about how and what they want to eat. But now even that has changed as Jon has turned vegetarian, something that surprised Tracey quite a bit. She said: I know! Its recent! Its all happening! Hes nervous about saying it publicly because he doesnt want to mess up. But he really is trying to figure out what vegetarian foods he likes, and Im helping him with that. Ill say to him, Oh, youre my new, sexy vegetarian boyfriend. Do you want to go to the vegan restaurant for lunch? Hes like, Yeah!'

I think you can tell a persons character by how much they love and care for animals.

the dog would pee on him. Dogs are better judges of character than republican Senators.
