Time to go #TankFree
Will you join our call to phase out the keeping of cetaceans in captivity, and pledge never to visit an attraction where they are exploited for entertainment?
We Are Born Free
International wildlife charity rescuing and protecting wild animals from exploitation, and conserving threatened species and their natural habitats for generations to come.
Born Free. Not To Perform.
It's time to go #TANKFREE - add your name today to oppose the keeping of dolphins, whales and porpoises - in captivity.
By joining the movement, we can show the global travel and tourism industry that cetaceans exploited and suffering in captivity is not entertainment, and we won't stand for it.
