Will you help us bring 10-month-old Saif (pictured) and his family, victims of the illegal pet trade, to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary? They are in the custody of the closed Kuwait Zoo where they have been cared for until a home could be found. We urgently need donations for their lifelong care.
It has been two decades since ADI opened our US and Latin America operations, launching investigations to expose captive animal suffering, campaigning for change, securing laws and rescuing hundreds of animals. Here’s a little trip down memory lane with a few of the things we have achieved together.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has abandoned its 2019 commitment to reduce licensing and funding of testing on mammals by 30% by 2025. Its aim was to eliminate, in most cases, study requests and funding by 2035 and to invest in animal free testing methods.
Brookline became the fifteenth Massachusetts town to ban wild animals, including elephants, monkeys and zebras, in traveling acts. The ban passed with overwhelming support – 209-2. It is time for a statewide and nationwide ban.
After several fur free years, the British Fashion Council has formally banned fur at the annual London Fashion Week ahead of February’s 40th anniversary event at the old Selfridges Hotel site.

It has been two decades since ADI opened our US and Latin America operations, and both have worked closely ever since. With your help we have exposed suffering, campaigned, and saved hundreds of animals. There is still much to do but your support has seen victories as circuses have gone animal free, exposed brutal training of elephants for movies, laboratory investigations, cosmetic testing bans, fur farming investigations, laws to protect animals, entire countries emptied of circus animals and the founding of the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa, a place of loving kindness for our circus survivors. We have shared the lives of some incredible animals like Cholita, Pepe, Mufasa, Leo and many, many more. Here’s a little trip down memory lane with a few of the things we have achieved together. Thank you for being a part of the journey. Perhaps you’d like to organize an event like these, described in the captions.
Having secured and helped enforce an animal circus ban in Bolivia, ADI returned to Latin America to assist the authorities in Peru and Colombia. Over 100 animals were rescued during Operation Spirit of Freedom. In 2018 ADI launched Operation Liberty in Guatemala, and in November 2019 and January 2020 flew 20 rescued tigers and lions to Big Cat Rescue in Florida and the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa. In 2023, we brought Ruben, the lonely lion in Armenia, to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, and we are working to do the same for five lions in Kuwait.
