March 8, 2016 - Charlesville, Liberia - ANTHONY KPOH caregiver with Liberian Chimpanzee Rescue returns to his village on March 8, 2016. He formerly worked with New York Blood Center during decades of biomedical experimentation on the chimps and now is with LCR, a program of Humane Society of the United States. HSUS and New York Blood Center came to an agreement recently in May 2017 after years of discussion about the care of research chimps NYBC had abandoned in Liberia, West Africa when they withdrew all funding for food and water. In March 2016, a team from HSUS visits to view the situation. NYBC 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. The HSUS 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 NYBC and were abandoned as well.
