Born Free USA

Born Free USA is a national animal advocacy nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, united with the Animal Protection Institute (API) since 2007. It works to ensure that all wild animals, whether living in captivity or in the wild, are treated with compassion and respect, conducting conservation work in communities, classrooms, courtrooms, and the halls of Congress.

Born Free USA operates one of the largest primate sanctuaries in the United States — a 175-acre facility in south Texas that provides a safe, permanent home to hundreds of monkeys rescued from roadside zoos, private homes, or animal experimentation. The organization also campaigns on issues including wildlife trade, trapping, the fur trade, the Endangered Species Act, and coexisting with wildlife.
