That word has different connotations in English: either a lunatic
asylum (outdated term for a hospital or home for the mentally ill)
or political asylum (meaning the protection afforded by one
country to refugees fleeing political oppression in their home
countries).

If you look at its translations, asylum is certainly a word that
will be understood by all Indo-European languages. But not the
Russian, Ukrainian Bulgarian triplet.<br>
But I don't see well which of your meanings applies to animals ;-)
Fortunately, in addition to the same "asile d'aliénés" and "asile
politique", French has "asile de paix" that's just a calm, resting
place without any restriction regarding the guests and their need
for protection.<br>
BTOW, French étable (stable) is just for cows, not horses.<br>
