Outrage as chimpanzees used for vaccine tests could die from starvation on Liberian island after American research center pulls funding

  • New York Blood Center used chimps for experiments starting in 1970s
  • Research ended in 2005, but center still supported the animals until March
  • Primates now fed less as caretakers work without pay on Liberian island
  • Center says $30,000 needed per month is government's responsibility
  • Jane Goodall says center has 'moral obligation to continue to care for them'
