  • Unnecessary Fuss es un documental producido por Ingrid Newkirk y Alex Pacheco (miembros de PETA), mostrando el metraje filmado entre 1983 y 1984 dentro de la Clínica de Lesiones de Cabeza de la Universidad de Pensilvania por los propios investigadores. Los experimentos consistían en infligir daño cerebral a los mandriles con un dispositivo hidráulico y se realizaron como parte de un proyecto de investigación sobre lesiones en la cabeza causadas por accidentes automovilísticos y deportivos. El video muestra a los investigadores riéndose mientras infligen daño cerebral a los mandriles.​ Las sesenta horas de audio y video fueron obtenidas del laboratorio durante una acción llevada a cabo en mayo de 1984 por el Frente de Liberación Animal durante la cual penetraron en las instalaciones del laboratorio por la noche.​ Posteriormente entregaron el material a PETA, quien editó el video hasta dejarlo en 26 minutos, con la voz de narradora de Newkirk, y lo distribuyó a los medios y al Congreso. Charles McCarthy, director de la Oficina para la Protección contra los Riesgos de Investigación (OPRI) escribió que la película había exagerado las deficiencias en la clínica, pero que la OPRI había encontrado serias violaciones de la Guía para el cuidado y uso de animales de laboratorio.​ Como resultado de la publicidad, el laboratorio se cerró, el jefe de veterinarios fue despedido de la universidad y fue puesto bajo libertad condicional. El título de la película proviene de una declaración hecha al periódico The Globe and Mail por el jefe de la clínica, el neurocirujano Thomas Gennarelli antes del ataque.​ Se negó a describir su investigación al periódico porque, dijo, tenía "el potencial para provocar todo tipo de alborotos innecesarios [unnecessary fuss] ...".​ (es)
  • Unnecessary Fuss is a film produced by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), showing footage shot inside the University of Pennsylvania's Head Injury Clinic in Philadelphia. The raw footage was recorded by the laboratory researchers as they inflicted brain damage to baboons using a hydraulic device. The experiments were conducted as part of a research project into head injuries such as is caused in vehicle accidents. Sixty hours of audio and video tapes were stolen from the laboratory on May 28, 1984, by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), described in their press release as the "Watergate tapes of the animal rights movement". ALF handed the tapes over to PETA. The footage was edited down to 26 minutes by Alex Pacheco and narrated by Ingrid Newkirk, then distributed to the media and Congress. Charles McCarthy, director of the Office for Protection from Research Risks (OPRR), wrote that the film had "grossly overstated the deficiencies in the Head Injury Clinic", but that the OPRR had found serious violations of the Guide for Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Due to the publicity and the results of several investigations and reports, the lab was closed. The title of the film comes from a statement made to The Globe and Mail by the head of the clinic, neurosurgeon Thomas Gennarelli, before the raid. He declined to describe his research to the newspaper because, he said, it had "the potential to stir up all sorts of unnecessary fuss." (en)
