The emotionally scarred apes reach for food from caregivers
LAB chimps subjected to horrific scientific experiments to save American I lives are finally getting the retirement they deserve in Liberia — but it's no island paradise because the apes can't shake a lifetime of torture and trauma!
At least 65 simians who were starved, mutilated and terrorized for decades in a controversial U.S.-funded research project have been dumped on six uninhabited river islands near the Atlantic, 34 miles south of the West African country's capital, to live out their final days as best they can.
