URGENT LETTERS NEEDED FROM TEXAS RESIDENTS
Dear Texas FoA and Primarily Primates Members,
As you likely know, Friends of Animals has managed the San Antonio, Texas based Primarily Primates sanctuary since May 2007. Our combined efforts have strengthened the refuge, and helped assure a safe future for rescued primates and other residents. We’ve also hired a top-notch lobbyist in Austin to help the bills mentioned below pass into law, and we request your assistance.
So that Primarily Primates and other private, non-profit animal sanctuaries in Texas are clearly exempted from the Dangerous Wild Animals Act, to care for primates, wild cats and other animals needing dignified, lifetime care, we’ve drafted a bill that needs your support.
Please write State Rep. Lyle Larson and State Senator Jeff Wentworth to thank them for introducing HB 1546 and SB 958 to protect Texas animal sanctuaries.
The bills allow Texas sanctuaries to continue to protect the otherwise homeless, abandoned and abused animals, whether or not a particular county in Texas provides a process for registering the sanctuary’s residents with a local “animal registration agency.”

I just wrote both of them and I must say I am so glad to see politicians out there that still care about wildlife. I am fighting for the wolves right now all across America they are in such danger from being killed off it’s scary to me, the thought the only way one might hear that wonderful howl is at a zoo or other enclosure. So kudos to the guys in TX!!!
