Born Free influences and encourages a greater respect for animals

You can help – send us your reports

Have you seen animals in poor conditions in a zoo, or abused in a circus or dolphinaria?  Did you experience bad practice during a wildlife safari or viewing excursion?  Are you concerned about a dancing bear you’ve seen, or animals in a side show or used as a photographic prop?  Born Free wants to hear from YOU.  The more information we receive the more animals we can try to help.
