Born Free USA needs little introduction by me, as it's already known as an established defender of animals and their rights. An offshoot of England's Born Free Foundation, the organization's American counterpart has been on the forefront of animal rights, and often primate rights, since its inception. Although Born Free USA technically got its start in 2002, it was created via a merger with Animal Protection Institute, an organization that began in the early days of the animal humane movement in 1961.
Born Free USA helps all animals, but they clearly have a soft spot for nonhuman primates. They also run the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary in Texas, which is home to rescued macaques, baboons and vervets.
You can learn more about Born Free USA on their website, or in my book, Monkey Business.
Speaking of my book....in order to celebrate a collaboration with this wonderful organization, 50% of all profits from copies of Monkey Business sold in the month of March will be donated to Born Free USA!
The book may be purchased through all the usual literary avenues (like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Nook, and more), or now also through Born Free USA's online store.
I look forward to a successful fundraising effort for this incredible and so very worthy organization, and I'm honored to work with them.
