Finding Sanctuary
Summer 2021
Summer 2021 was the summer of monkeys at the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary! We welcomed four monkeys to the sanctuary – three monkeys that had been kept as a pets in a private homes and one that had been retired from animal experimentation. All had spent their entire lives in cages and without the chance to interact with or even meet other monkeys. Now at our primate sanctuary, they will have the chance at a more natural life in the company of other monkeys.

March 2020
Working with Animal Legal Defense Fund, Born Free USA rescued two rhesus macaques – Mrs. Wilkin and Anna &nash; and three baboons – Marlin, Violet, and Presley – from Cricket Hollow Zoo, a deplorable roadside zoo with a long-standing history of keeping animals in cruel and inhumane conditions. They now have a home for life at our primate sanctuary, where they can heal from lifetimes of abuse.
