Primarily Primates (PPI) is a non-profit organization in Bexar County, Texas, that operates an animal sanctuary, housing 600 non-human primates and a variety of other animals retired from use in Entertainment, Research or as rescues from the Exotic Pet Trade. The organization was founded by Wallace (Wally) Swett in 1978, who ran the facility until 2006, when the Texas attorney general took control of it after allegations that the facility was an unfit place for animals. It has since been passed to new management.
