Joan Jett Challenges Women’s Rights Activists to Protect Female Animals Too: ‘We Are All Sisters’
Joan Jett is advocating for female animals in a new PETA ad. Watch the video.
Premiering Monday (Oct. 21) during The Rachel Maddow Show, the ad begins with a close-up of Jett’s face before it morphs into headshots of a cat, fox, cow, monkey, dog, sheep and other human women. In 2012, she declared her vegetarianism in her first-ever print ad for the non-profit, which read: “A meatless diet saves animals from suffering, combats environmental destruction and is better from my health.” In 2022, Jett spoke on PETA’s behalf at SeaWorld’s virtual annual shareholders meeting to advocate for an end to the theme park’s “sordid breeding program.” “SeaWorld has caused public outrage by continuing to forcibly breed bottlenose dolphins and beluga whales in order to create generations of animals who then suffer in cramped tanks, deprived of any semblance of a natural life,” she said at the time.
