*FOR MORE COMPLETE CAPTIONS Jenny Desmond offered to help with names of individual chimps... 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. 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.
