The NYBC has maintained that it has already spent millions on the chimps since its deal with the Liberian government ended in the mid-2000s and can no longer afford to divert money from essential programs that save thousands of human lives. In response to questions from ABC News, NYBC Vice President Robert Purvis slammed the HSUS and said the NYBC tried to work with the group for months and were confronted with requests that "have nothing to do with NYBC's original involvement in Liberia." Purvis said the NYBC "repeatedly" reached out to the animal rights community and the Liberian government "in an attempt to assist in a long-term solution for Liberia's chimps." "NYBC was ignored," he said.
