March 3, 2016 - Charlesville, Liberia - ''Those chimps are living things. They are us,'' says JOSEPH THOMAS (left). JENNY DESMOND shares a moment of joy with the African caregivers on March 3, 2016 in Liberia, West Africa at the Liberian Chimpanzee Rescue base, a project of HSUS. Members were extremely grateful for the help. 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 NYBC had abandoned when they withdrew all funding for food and water when they retired the chimps. Initially former caregivers used their own meager finances to continue feeding them. They now live on six mangrove islands serving as a sanctuary run by Jenny and James Desmond. 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.
