Joan Jett partners with PETA and calls on women’s rights advocates to include animals

“We are daughters, sisters, and mothers. We all feel pain and fear and love, and if any of us, were forcibly bred or had our breast milk or eggs taken and sold, or our children stolen from us to be experimented on, we'd all feel violated and angry, and heartbroken. Ask yourself, would I wish this on my mother or my sister, or me? We all sisters under the skin. End speciesism”, she says in the video which premiered yesterday, during The Rachel Maddow Show.

“As women, our empathy cannot stop at the human female. We must oppose the exploitation and abuse of all females, because every animal is someone, and we are all animals,” she continued.
Speaking to Billboard on her reasoning to join the campaign, Jett said: "I want to do everything I can to help animals, and this campaign resonated with me because female animals, in particular, are some of the most abused animals on the planet."
