Activists focused on primate vivisection at UCLA - the notorious institution at which such "luminaries" as Edythe London and her equally psychotic cohort Arthur Rosenbaum siphon their respective slices of a multiple-million-dollar pie to addict monkeys to crystal meth (while legitimate drug rehab centers flounder for lack of funds) and inject the paralytic drug Botox into their ocular musculature to simulate strabismus (a common condition for which a successful operation was already known and practiced at least six decades ago). Both are Jews whose membership in a group having in their history the Holocaust; but this does not seem to deter them whatsoever from perpetrating the same horrors against another class of defenseless sentient beings. In fact, London cites her status as the child of Holocaust survivors as one of the reasons she engages in animal experimentation! While clearly illustrative of her tenuous hold on rationality - as well as her patent lack of moral evolution - it boggles the mind how having parents who were victims of the Nazis could serve as a platform for torturing primates and retarding progress in human medicine. She is the Cruella DeVille of primate vivisectors; Cruella DeLondon!

Well, let's get on to the demos - shall we? Activists picketed the neighborhood of Edythe London - at 1249 Shadybrook Drive in posh Beverly Hills. Activists educated the neighbors about how Edythe addicts primates to crystal meth and nicotine. Have you ever heard of a monkey in the wild who tweaks or smokes? We didn't think so! Edythe's father died of lung cancer from smoking, a condition he brought on himself. It's been known for decades that cigarettes are bad news - and he chose to go ahead and light up anyway. So, why should the animals have to suffer in agony for the foolish behavior of smokers? And wouldn't an inquiry into the psychodynamic and socioeconomic parameters that predispose people to substance abuse be a much more ethical and productive endeavor than hooking members of a species who have no native inclination towards self-intoxication and can't communicate their experiences?

As activists were elucidating this obvious point, a burly bruiser working with a construction company which coincidentally happened to be fixing something in that neighborhood didn't like the fact that an animal rights protest was occurring at the same time and started walking - fists clenched - over to one of the "bullhorn babes" and was about to strike her when she stood her ground and told him, "If you touch me, I'll own your home and your construction company!" He immediately backed off.

Off to the neighborhood of Arthur Rosenbaum - at 265 Loring Ave. - who gets his kicks restraining primates, paralyzing their ocular musculature with Botox, adhering metal coils to their corneas, and claiming he's thereby simulating strabismus (commonly referred to as "crossed" eye). Guess what? The etiology of strabismus does not involve wrinkle reducers or force transducers - and a simple and effective operation was already available six decades ago! Well, that little inconvenient truth doesn't matter to Arthur. That NIH grant spigot just keeps flowing in his direction. After all, he has to meet those huge mortgage payments on that fancy home purchased with the blood of tortured animals. Arthur now has not one but TWO security goons in front of his home protecting him from the "big, bad activists" - and these goons were quickly joined by UCLA police and LAPD. A helicopter circled above, and the moron Captain Adams made a personal appearance. Even though President Bush has stated that the "Constitution is just a piece of paper," activists depend on this piece of paper in order to legally picket and seek "redress of their grievances" regarding the torture and murder of primates inside the labs at UCLA.

Activists educated the neighborhood and about eight neighbors actually strolled by in order to ask questions, take leaflets and they all agreed that Rosenbaum is a sick perverted man. As activists piled into their van to be taken back to the meeting spot, the van driver asked the picketers, "Is everything okay?" One of the picketers quipped, "The S.W.A.T. team's behind us and there's an aerial gunner overhead - but, yeah, everything's cool!" Well, you can't say we don't have a sense of humor - and our lives certainly aren't dull! And since picketers filed a Federal lawsuit against three different police precincts and those individuals who have obstructed activists rights of free of speech including a host of other violations, the coppers at Rosenbaum's for the first time, allowed activists to engage in their legal picket.
