Cheetah cubs for sale!
Here at Born Free USA united with Animal Protection Institute we believe in compassionate conservation. What this means is that while we strive to protect wildlife at the species level we also believe that the well-being of individual animals also matters.

Volunteering for Yes on 2
Yay! The chickens won! California is now on its way to more humane treatment of farm animals. Yes, by 2015 chickens, baby cows, and pregnant pigs will have enough room to turn around, lie down, or stretch their limbs. And as a volunteer for Yes on Prop 2, I thought I’d share how we did it.

The Cat’s in the Cradle
Wow. We’re going a bit kitty-crazy here at the office. And I don’t mean tigers or lions; instead, felis catus (the domesticated house cat) is causing all the stir.
About a month ago, one of my coworkers discovered a trio of gray tabby kittens in a leaf pile on the street. So, she got them safely out of the street and brought them to her office. With lots of nurturing, they’ve transformed from feral, frightened babes to purring loveable little guys who hopefully will find great homes.
