Born Free USA is pleased to announce that a laboratory has closed down, allowing us to rescue 15 Long-tailed Macaques and give them a second chance at life — a peaceful retirement at the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary.

They arrived on Saturday July 17th, safe and sound, after a 1,700 mile journey (check out the video). They will be housed in temporary cages for a short time in order to be evaluated and then, as soon as possible, released into a sprawling five acre enclosure with trees and grass... and other animals. But we need your help to make this happen.

Born Free CEO Will Travers was recently interviewed on Riz Khan's One on One. Watch the full interview now »
