Animals at Texas primate sanctuary freeze to death amid catastrophic power outages
A chimpanzee, several monkeys, lemurs and other animals have died after a Texas primate sanctuary lost power amid a brutal winter storm pounding the southern U.S. this week. Staff and volunteers at Primarily Primates were trying to evacuate the facility when they found about a dozen dead animals, the San Antonio-area nonprofit said Wednesday. One of them was 58-year-old Violet, the sanctuary’s oldest chimp.
