==Primarily Primates==
In 2006, the organization came to the defense of operators of [[Primarily Primates]], a sanctuary near [[San Antonio]], [[Texas]], that housed "hundreds of chimpanzees, monkeys and other animals that had outlived their usefulness as research subjects, movie props or pets."<ref name="Animal sanctuary accused"/> After [[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals]] made unsubstantiated, false allegations to the Texas Attorney General that were later dismissed, the sanctuary was temporarily put into the control of a receiver by way of an emergency injunction. Friends of Animals paid the legal bills of Primarily Primates, who were trying to regain control of their sanctuary.<ref name="Animal sanctuary accused"/> The Texas Attorney General asked Priscilla Feral, Friends of Animals' president, to establish a new board of directors, and on May 1, 2007, returned the sanctuary to Feral who serves as PPI's voluntary president of the board. Friends of Animals manages the sanctuary as a project with a $1.1 million budget in 2018, a staff of 16 and one full-time veterinarian to assure the highest standards and animal care possible. The sanctuary houses 347 primates, birds and other animals including three rescued wild horses.<ref>[http://friendsofanimals.org/node/6177 "Primarily Primates"], Friends of Animals, accessed August 5, 2014.</ref>
