Witnesses & Former Pet Primate Owners in Texas - Sightings & Rehoming

Have you seen someone with a pet primate in Texas or owned one yourself? Hi all, I'm a science writer working on a story about pet primate ownership in Texas, and I'm hoping to talk to people who either: (1) Have seen someone with a pet primate out in public in the state of Texas (e.g., I once saw someone with a lemur in a Barnes and Noble in Austin!), or (2) Owned a primate and ultimately found it harder than expected, whether that meant rehoming the animal, surrendering it to a sanctuary, or just coming to regret the decision. If you'd be willing to speak candidly about either of these things, I'd love to hear from you. Happy to talk by phone, video call, or email- whatever's easiest. You're welcome to use your name in the piece or speak anonymously. Entirely your call and we can talk through what you're comfortable with before anything is published.
