Today we want to introduce you to two of our newes

Today we want to introduce you to two of our newest residents, Tova (right) and Jobee (left). These resilient macaques each spent over 20 years of their lives as victims of invasive animal testing, living indoors and in isolation. When they were finally retired to Primarily Primates over the summer they were both terrified of every new experience, but after learning to trust one another and their caretakers, they're doing wonderfully!

We're learning all about them and have found that they particularly love pumpkin seeds and sitting in the grass. If you'd like to sponsor Tova or Jobee, check out our website to learn more! 😊

We have heavy hearts this week as we mourn the los

We have heavy hearts this week as we mourn the loss of beloved Mandy, age 52, who passed Nov. 1st from an inoperable tumor. Mandy, who was nicknamed “doll’ for her sweet disposition, was a remarkable and resilient chimpanzee who was always interested in grooming care staff and just about anyone she met—that was her way of extending an invitation for friendship.

Friends of Animals staffer Nicole Rivard pays tribute to this one-of-a-kind chimpanzee on our website.
