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.

Joan joins a huge list of celebs who have all recorded veggie testimonials for PETA, including Casey Afleck, Shanna Moakler, Forest Whitaker and Kevin Nealon. To find out more about becoming vegetarian and to get your a free vegetarian starter kit, visit GOVEG.com!!!

At this year’s Riverfest in Beloit, Wisconsin, binders were made and filled with the food demands of the bands. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the younger, more outspoken acts eating with conscience about impact. Bands like Seether wanted unhealthy junk like Doritos and hot dogs while The Beach Boys asked for organic items and dolphin-safe tuna. They even requested that their food be steamed and not from a can. They wanted everything to be fresh, meaning that most of it was bought locally. Rock icon Joan Jett wanted hers all vegan.

Coordinators of the event also cut back on waste by making sure that the leftover food was used to stock the band buses.
