March 8, 2016 - Charlesville, Liberia - JENNY DESMOND dances at a farewell party given by LCR (Liberian Chimpanzee Rescue) a project of Humane Society of the United States, to save research chimpanzees abandoned by New York Blood Center in Liberia which stopped all funding for food and water when they retired the chimps formerly used for experimentation. 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. A team from HSUS attends the party after coming to observe efforts in March 2016. NYBC also refused to pay their original caregivers who had worked for the center and were abandoned as well. The caregivers initially used their own meager finances to continue feeding them. Over 60 chimps now live on six islands serving as a sanctuary run by Jenny and James Desmond to improve the dire situation in which the chimpanzees were left to die.
