Adam Roberts–Vice-President of Born Free USA, an organization working to prevent wild animal suffering, protect threatened species in the wild, and monitor and often improve the welfare of captive wildlife–discusses the genesis of the organization [which is both an offshoot of the older Born Free Foundation and a separate entity with its own 501(c)(3) status and agenda], 
some of its more pressing programs and campaigns, the fundamental shortcomings of zoos, his recent trip to Sri Lanka to survey the tsunami damage and see the Born Free-sponsored Elephant Transit Home there, and more. [www.BornFreeUsa.org]
