Primarily Primates Inc. to rescue 12 monkeys
San Antonio– Primarily Primates Inc., a Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) accredited sanctuary, is rescuing five primates from Dr. Juan A. Rivero Zoo in Puerto Rico, which permanently closed in February following years of suspected negligence, a lack of resources and deaths of animals that were highlighted by activists. It was the U.S. territory’s only zoo and had remained closed to the public since hurricanes Irma and Maria battered the island in September 2017.
