    We're devastated to announce that Dolo has passed away following a short illness. He was kept on a 1m chain for years, so restrictive that it rubbed off his mane. After he was rescued in 2007, he spent every day happily snoozing in the sunshine. Thank you for changing his life.

    We’re absolutely delighted that from today wild animals can no longer be used in travelling circuses in England. We’ve been campaigning for a ban for more than 20 years and are thrilled that outdated acts like this will now be confined to the history books. #EnglandCircusBan

    Safia was kept alone and chained in a wooden shack. She suffered injuries when children threw rocks at her. Rescued by Born Free, she now lives at our Ensessa Kotteh Wildlife Rescue, Conservation & Education Centre in Ethiopia. #10YearChallenge #KeepWildlifeInTheWild 🦁

    The UK is now home to three zoos with solitary elephants. Elephants in the wild, particularly females, do not live alone and every solitary elephant is a victim of the zoo industry. We need to phase out the keeping of elephants in UK zoos, now 👇 (1/7) bornfree.org.uk/blog/solitary-…
