NY Blood Center
When the New York Blood Center (NYBC) decided to stop funding and feeding its retired research chimpanzees in Liberia, Dr. Goodall spoke out. She wrote an open letter to the NYBC calling on them to honor their promise to found a sanctuary that would care for their retired chimpanzees in perpetuity. When NYBC did not respond, Dr. Goodall released another letter calling on them to support the chimpanzees. A petition for NYBC to support the chimpanzees keeps growing and protests against NYBC continue, with the most recent ones occurring in December.
