A group of chimpanzees is returning to South Texas after a Bexar County court ruling.

Bexar County Judge Michael Peden granted a summary judgment ordered the return of the chimps to Primarily Primates, an animal sanctuary near Leon Springs just north of San Antonio.

"It the end of a horrid story and we're thrilled about it," said Priscilla Feral with Primarily Primates. "We are just so glad that this fight is over."

With help from a group called "Friends of Animals," the sanctuary is finishing up the final touches on the enclosures specifically designed for the primates.

"There's gonna be more amenities to this," said Stephen Tello, executive director of Primarily Primates. "We're gonna have fire hose hammocks and fire hose swings."

The new open-air dwelling features 20-foot high ceilings, climbing ladders and natural grass carpeting, according to the group.

If the work goes according to plan, the chimps could be returned to South Texas from Louisiana within 30 days.
