Cops Respond to Chyna Doll's Rabid Protest

16. Right on, right on, Chyna and supporters. i am sick to death of people in our society harming poor defenseless animals. Maybe the lab men shouldnt have been headbutted by Chyna's supporters (though that does have its humorous side. ) But im sick of animals being abused. i would have been screaming along with Chyna and her buddies, And who with any heart would put poor Chyna down as she sat crying on the Larry King show over Anna Nicole Smith? THis wasnt a publicity stunt, The woman was obviously upset and cared, Chyna is thouroughly capable of getting her own publicity, for Lords sake. She had just made a movie with Anna. I thought the way Monique Goen of Trimspa berated Chyna on Larry king was dispicable. It is terrible to pick on someone crying over someone they cared for who is dead.

17. Animal experiments prove NOTHING for human beings

But a lot of these psychos at universities just do the same stupid experiments over and over again because they make MONEY torturing animals

And some of these people are just sadistic

Universities are where some of the slimiest people on earth hide out

19. Does any guy out there think the Bambi Twins (oh, excuse me, Barbi Twins) look good? They've got nice racks, but they look beat up; they have that facial stretched out look of women who have had too many plastic surgeries.

Regarding this situation, I agree with #11. The people who incited this incident (and the moron who was trying to headbutt one of the guys) should have been arrested on the spot. Another example of stupid, moronic celebrities with their mindless special interests breaking the law & getting away with it. Celebrity is a responsibility, not a reason to try to get away with breaking the law. That's a lesson the bozo twins (excuse me, the barbi twins) & that moron "Chyna" need to learn...

20. Better chimps than humans.......oh wait we can spend hoursof fun picking the fleas off of each other and flinging feces into our mates faces. Yeah Darwin had no idea what he was talking about, did he?

21. Hey "WAY TO GO," no one is saying it isn't unethical to experiment on primates. People are saying you should not incite violence when protesting, which is against the law. I don't care if it's animal rights activists or not, there is no place for violence.

22. I think Chyna and the Twins were outraged because THEY ARE THE MONKEY'S BEING TESTED ON!!!! They are not happy with the way they turned out an now they are turning on the scientist. It's your classic "FRANKENSTEIN"movie!!!

23. I belive that Chyna's just trying to stave off the career reaper. Honestly, the Barbi Twins havent been interesting since the 80's, and so over due to be sold for scrap plastics. Yes, animal research is bad, but the face of those against it shouldnt be rough enough to cut a roast on. Just sayin.....two silicone bimbos and a tranny.....not a good combo......

24. Speaking of "inciting violence", those guys in the white lab coats should have been arrested immediately for getting in those girl's faces and touching their property. Or maybe those scientists should be arrested for conducting experiments that would be illegal 5 feet outside of that laboratory.

25. Jesus, talk about holding on to your last gasp of fame. These 2 chicks (and Chyna; is it a man or a woman?) aren't even D list celebrities. So, what do you do if you don't have a career? Why, latch onto some cause & make sure you get your picture taken doing something in public. Make sure it's something that appeals to everyone's emotions. "OK, I've already played out the "Anna Nicole Smith" angle; people already can tell I'm using her to try to make my career breath again. Wait, I've got a great idea; I'll create an artificial publicity event for animal rights; Yeah! Everyone loves fluffy puppies & kittens; I'll get my picture taken protesting animal research; YEAH! That'll get me publicity & my non-existing career on track!"

What a cynical, opportunistic publicity grab, by 3 absolute losers. How Hollywood; do or say anything to get publicy, no matter what.

26. Animal testing isn't necessary. Here are some testing methods that have been used to create tons of vaccines, medicines and etc:


Microdosing – a new method of obtaining human metabolism data, which enables potential new drugs to be tested safely in humans at an earlier stage. Microdosing relies on the ultrasensitivity of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS), one of the most sensitive measuring devices ever invented. Using AMS it is possible to conduct a full human metabolism study after administration of as little as 0.1 milligram of drug substance, measuring drug concentrations in biological fluids up to 1000 times less than the levels one would observe in a classical Phase I clinical study. This should be part of ‘Phase 0’ pre-clinical trials for every drug, instead of animal testing. Currently, preclinical studies take up to 18 months and cost €2.3-3.8m. Microdosing could reduce the time to four to six months and the cost to €0.26m per new molecule. Its accuracy at predicting human metabolism is unsurpassed. EU and US regulators have endorsed the use of microdosing to speed and improve the safety of drug development. See www.xceleron.co.uk, www.microdosing.co.uk

DNA chips – enable the study of pharmacogenetics, which, in turn, enables the practice of personalised medicine. This is the concept that since each person is genetically unique, medicines should be designed for individuals, rather than our current ‘one drug fits all’ approach. DNA chips are computer wafers with tiny wells where human genes can be exposed to a new drug, for instance. The computer then reads which genes are turned on or off (or up or down) by the experimental drug. See, for example, www.simugen.co.uk

Microfluidics chips – again just 2cm wide, have etched into them a series of tiny chambers, each containing a sample of tissue from different parts of the body. The compartments are linked by microchannels through which a blood substitute flows. The test drug is added to the blood substitute and circulates around the device; thus mimicking what goes on in the body on a micro scale. Sensors in the chip feed back information for computer analysis. Hurel (Human relevant) are pioneering this field: see www.hurelcorp.com

Human tissue – all that we know about HIV/AIDS has come from studying humans and human tissue; particularly blood. Similarly, everything we know about Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases has been learned by studying patients and their tissues. According to Dr. John Xuereb, Director of the Cambridge Brain Bank and Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre; “Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases occur in humans and it is in human tissue that we will find the answers to these diseases.” New drugs can be tested in human tissues, ethically obtained with fully informed consent, before they are given to volunteers in microdose studies. Companies such as Asterand work exclusively with human tissue because it is more appropriate than animal tissue: see www.asterand.com, www.biopta.com

Computer modelling – virtual human organs and virtual metabolism programmes can now predict drug effects in humans far more accurately than animals can. Computers can be used to design the molecular structure of drugs to target specific receptors. For example, the protease inhibitors for patients with HIV were designed by computer and tested in human tissue cultures and computer models, bypassing animal tests because of the urgent need. In 1997, Roche Pharmaceuticals had a new heart drug approved on the strength of data from a virtual heart because the animal data was inconclusive. Research teams around the world are working on a 'virtual human', which is designed to predict drug metabolism and metabolite interaction with any given organ - information that animal models will never be able to provide. Scientists can simulate experiments in silico (in computer) that could take months or years to do in the lab or clinic. See www.entelos.com, www.physiome.org

Autopsies – though neglected of late for a number of reasons, post mortem studies remain the best method of studying the effects of a disease on the whole body.

Epidemiology – studies lifestyle factors in populations to find commonalities that might be significant. Epidemiology linked smoking to cancer and high cholesterol to heart disease, folic acid deficiency in pregnancy to spina bifida and many more associations. See www.ukbiobank.ac.uk

Stem cell research – offers potential promise of treatment for a wide variety of diseases. Human stem cells have already been used successfully to treat some leukaemias, as well as improving outcomes for heart attack patients and for some patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

New imaging technologies – such as Magnetoencephalography (MEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI (fMRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), event-related optical signals (EROS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and others are offering a view of the human body – in particular, the brain – that cannot be gained by studying animals.

Post-Marketing Drug Surveillance – if enforced, would ensure that unexpected side effects of new drugs would be identified much sooner; thus reducing the burden of adverse drug reactions: currently our 4th leading cause of death.

Clinical research – has been and will remain the sine qua non of medical practice. Many medical treatments have never been studied for efficacy. Large clinical studies are needed to establish whether current practice is actually the best, evidence-based option.

The EPISKIN - test with artificial, human skin makes it possible to assess how the skin reacts to corrosive effects and chemicals on the skin. This examination is normally carried out on rabbits or guinea pigs. Adding carcinogenical substances to normal cells leads an unnormal growth of these cells. This is how substances that can cause cancer can be detected in the transformation test. Monoclonal antibodies are substances of the immune system which are used in many fields of research and diagnostic. Instead of the extremely cruel production in the peritoneal cavity of mice, biological reactors (like the glass mouse or tecno mouse) can be used for production. With the PyroCheck test fever triggering substances (pyrogenes) can be tracked down in serums and infusion solutions by using human white blood cells. So far, the test was carried out on rabbits. The human cornea with all its layers can be copied three-dimensional in the test tube e.g. to test ointments (artificial cornea). With nerve cell cultures you can examine the release of neuro-transmitters (carrier substances) as well as their pharmacological effect. By this, drugs in the field of Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and pain research can be tested. Cell cultures of arteries which occur as debris in operations can be used in the arteriosclerosis research. This way, causes and treatment of vascular diseases can be examined. Cultured heart muscle cells keep their contraction ability, even in a test-tube. With their help, physiological interrelations and the effect of heart drugs can be tested.


Incubated eggs - Instead of the cruel Draize test, where the substances are dripped into rabbits' eyes to check the irritant effect of chemicals and cosmetic products, hens' eggs can be used. With the HET-CAM-TEST, the test substance is dripped onto the membrane of the fine blood vessels of an incubated egg and the reaction can be watched.

Lower organism - With the Ames test using Salmonella bacteria, researchers can detect genetically harmful features of chemicals.

Human based research - A lot of medical disciplines do not use animals and give - contrary to animal research - really relevant results for human beings, including: Epidemiology, preventive treatment or precautionary medicine, clinical and rehabilitation research, psychotherapy, occupational and social medicine as well as natural healing. In toxicology (poison tests) it is more sensible, too, to use data of human poisoning cases instead of poisoning animals. Only documentation and analysis of real poisoning cases of human beings must be used for risk assessment. For example, symptoms like headache, dizziness or impaired concentration can be caused by substances, symptoms which can never be assessed in animal experiments.

27. I agree with #20 & #22. these animal rights activists (their cause, right or wrong) broke the law. this isn't the civil rights marches of the 1960's or Ghandi style protesting; this type of "protesting" is meant to cause violence & get publicity for that reason. The guy who tried to headbutt the other guy should have been arrested on the spot. Along with china & the twins; they should have been arrested for murder, for killing their own hollywood careers.

28. April, my eyes are bleeding after that long note you just dropped. Chyna is a dude looks like a lady and the Barbie twins, my God that one does look like Linda Hamilton. Ladies please just go away your 15 minutes were up 10 years ago.

29. The scientists SHOULD get thier asses kicked or worse!!! No animal should be experimented on, especially in this day and age.

30. That rocked! Go ladies. D-list or not, they are using their public visibility for a good and moral cause. Anna was a PETA supporter, so whether they are weird or whatever you think of them, they are at least out there doing something with themselves, and not sitting at home on a message board hurling insults at other people.
