March 8, 2016 - Washington, DC, U.S - Chimpanzee named Bullet awaits food. He broke his arm when a bullet pierced it after killing his mother and was given for research by a Spanish pilot who said to ''kill it if the arm couldn't be repaired'' according to his records at New York Blood Center. He survived but lost his arm and freedom, spending most of his life in a cage. HSUS and NYBC came to an agreement recently after years of discussion about the care of research chimps NYBC abandoned in Liberia. In March 2016, a team from Humane Society of the United States visits Liberia in West Africa to view situation with research chimpanzees abandoned by New York Blood Center, which stopped all funding for food and water and also refused to pay for their caregivers who used their own meager finances to continue feeding them. They now live on six islands serving as a sanctuary run by Jenny and Jim Desmond. The HSUS has stepped in to assist and improve the dire situation in which the chimpanzees were literally left to die if not for the heroic efforts of their original caregivers who had worked for New York Blood Center and were abandoned as well.
