, The Washington Post; U.S. lab chimps were dumped on Liberia’s Monkey Island and left to starve. He saved them.
"Animal testing has existed since doctors in ancient Greece studied the anatomy of rodents — an estimated 115 million creatures are still used each year in research worldwide — but rarely is the aftermath so visible. Rarely is it so hungry.
This
colony of 66 chimpanzees, which never learned to survive in the wild,
eats roughly 500 pounds of produce each day, plus a weekly batch of
hard-boiled eggs for protein. They rely on money from a charity abroad
and the devotion of men who’ve known them since they lived in steel
cages."
