March 3, 2016 - Charlesville, Liberia - JENNY DESMOND gives a tour to KATHLEEN CONLEE of HSUS of cages that once held research chimps captive and now sit decaying as a team from HSUS visit Liberia in West Africa to observe efforts to save research chimpanzees abandoned by New York Blood Center, which stopped all funding for food and water when they retired the chimps formerly used for experimentation. The Humane Society of the United States and New York Blood Center came to an agreement recently in May 2017 after years of discussion about the care of research chimps . . They also refused to pay their original caregivers who had worked for the center and were abandoned as well. They initially used their own meager finances to continue feeding them. Over 60 chimps now live on six islands serving as a sanctuary LCR (Liberian Chimpanzee Rescue), a project of Humane Society of the United States run by Jenny and James Desmond to improve the dire situation in which the chimpanzees were left to die.
