Hello Everyone, Thanks to all 54,000 of you for supporting this call for the New York Blood Center (NYBC) to reinstate funding for the lifetime care of sixty-six chimpanzees in Liberia who NYBC used for medical experiments. Our effort was covered by The New York Times and has been supported by a number of great activists and advocates including Dr. Jane Goodall. Dr. Goodall wrote an open letter to the New York Blood Center on behalf of the chimpanzees urging them to “renew your support of these chimpanzees, and join those of us who are working to secure long term care and provide for their welfare in perpetuity.” Please read and share her full letter here: http://www.janegoodall.org/blogs/dr-goodalls-open-letter-new-york-blood-center-regarding-care-chimpanzees-vilab-ii-sanctuary-li In addition to sharing this article, please take a couple of moments out of your day to call the New York Blood Center at 800-933-BLOOD and politely tell them why you want them to reinstate funding for these chimpanzees. Thank you so much for your support for this campaign and the chimpanzees. Sincerely, Dr. Brian Hare P.S.
