A Life With Animals is a photographic celebration of The Aspinall Foundation and family. It all began with a handful of exotic animals and a win at the races, the rest is history - three decades of it in fact! This delightful book, published to commemorate The Aspinall Foundation's 30th Anniversary, takes the reader on a memorable pictorial journey through the charity's archives, including some rare glimpses into the Aspinall family photo album. On almost every page, the love and respect for animals is palpable. A Life With Animals is a truly unforgettable and inspiring story of a unique family and remarkable wildlife charity.
John Damian Androcles Aspinall (born 24 May 1960) is an English businessman and conservationist. He has raised and released a number of zoo-bred lowland gorillas in Gabon. Aspinall is the son of Jane Gordon Hastings and John Victor Aspinall who was a zoo owner, gambler, founder of Aspinall's, conservationist, and the stepson of Sir George Osborne, 16th Baronet. Aspinall's step-mother is Lady Sarah Aspinall. In 1972, his father married Lady Sarah "Sally" Courage, widow of the racing driver Piers Courage and daughter of Francis Curzon, 5th Earl Howe. Aspinall's wealth is estimated to be around £200m. Aspinall acquired his wealth independently in the real estate business, his father refusing to assist him financially. After his father's death in 2000, Damian bought back the family casino interests with the help of Australian associate James Packer, son of Kerry Packer. He runs the John Aspinall Foundation started by his father, and his stated goal is to breed gorillas and return them to the wild. He manages Howletts Wild Animal Park and nearby Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, where 120 gorillas have been born and 77 presently live.
