Born Free is its own thing - http://www.bornfreeusa.org/a3_captive.php
They "own" that primate sanctuary in TX - http://www.bornfreeusa.org/a8_sanctuary.php
It, like many of these "animal welfare" - in reality, animal rights, "sanctuary" type entities, with huge animal rights related agendas, defy the imagination on hypocrisy. They don't think people should ever keep or have these animals, but almost all of the folks, the MOST loud about it keep the very animals they want to see federally banned. Sure, its allied with Peta, the HSUS and other similar orgs. They are the same sort of thing that Tippy Hendren has with http://www.shambala.org/ - Check it out.
All of these places are discussed in DETAIL at http://www.rexano.org/
Its like the herpocrites among us - Those that think their select group of whatever should be saved, and allowed to be kept, and that the species they have deemed improper, shouldn't be. They have been going after the fringe among us (animal keepers & breeders) for years. They have been successful at a number of those battles, and are now, once more, focusing all they have on us.
Many parrot sanctuaries and rescues are the same exact sort of thing, claiming they want to see an end to aviculture - meaning, these parrot owners believe no one else should own birds. A great example is "The Avian Welfare Coalition - Who want to see birds kept as pets - http://www.avianwelfare.org/aboutus/conduct.htm
They use that "Welfare" line.
http://www.bornfreeusa.org/a3b_exotic_pets.php Read what they have to say at "Born Free" about exotic pets above - All these humaniac groups want to see what all of us do, ENDED. And no matter if we keep burms, budgies, or even box turtles, we are in their demented cross hairs.
