joan jett, farm sanctuary

Rock legend Joan Jett recently visited Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY and took a tour of the facilities — as well as personally meeting some of the wonderful animals. From the Sanctuary Tails blog:

During her visit, Joan got to meet her namesake, the fabulous Joan Jett pig (pictured above) and pitch in with farm tasks like moving the main cattle herd to a different pasture so they could enjoy grazing on new lush green grass, and feeding scratch mix out to flocks of super excited chickens. She also, of course, got to just hang out and play with all the animals, and I was thrilled to see how very comfortable she was with all of them – no matter how big or how small.

    Oh just look at the expression on the pig’s face – so blissful! I’m so grateful for organizations like Farm Sanctuary that give love to these precious animals.

    Saw her in concert a few years ago. She still rocks hard.

    If only they’d do a tv reality show on something like this and not yet another bland show on selfish couples polluting the planet with sextuplets octuplets etc.

    Joanie looks so sweet and very cute laying and homey laying there with the pig that was named after her. I thing that the farm sanctuary is a very good idea and it is helping to stop cruelty to animals. Way to go Joanie!!
