I'm disappointed to report that NYBC still denies responsibility for the chimpanzees it abandoned but want to encourage you to stay active on this issue! Please consider making a brief, polite phone call to Metlife, one of NYBC's major funders, to request that Metlife stop supporting NYBC unless NYBC reinstates funding for the chimpanzees. You can reach Metlife at 212-578-7048. You can also send an email using this form: bit.ly/1Qi27tj. I'll provide suggested language below. If NYBC won't listen to the public, perhaps they will listen to an organization that has provided millions in funding! Thank you all for your efforts! "I'm calling/writing to ask Metlife to no longer support the New York Blood Center. Metlife and Metlife Foundation are major funders of the blood center which abandoned more than 60 chimpanzees in Liberia, Africa after using them for decades in research. I'd like to urge your company to stop supporting New York Blood Center unless the blood center agrees to reinstate funding for the chimps."
