Never mind man biting dog ...
Artist eats Corgi to protest British royals’ fox hunt;
Yoko Ono also tastes it


Updated: 1 hour, 4 minutes ago
LONDON - A British artist has eaten chunks of a Corgi dog, the breed favored by Queen Elizabeth II, live on radio to protest against the royal family's treatment of animals.

Mark McGowan, 37, said he ate "about three bites" of the dog meat, cooked with apples, onions and seasoning, to highlight what he called Prince Philip's mistreatment of a fox during a hunt by the Queen's husband in January.

"It was pretty disgusting," McGowan said of the meal, which he ate while appearing on a London radio station on Tuesday. Yoko Ono, another guest on the show, also tried the meat.

"I've never tasted anything like it — it was grey and had a very funny smell. It was horrible," McGowan told Reuters.

Queen favors Corgis
McGowan said he was angry that the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of which the royal family is a patron, had not prosecuted Prince Philip for hunting and killing the fox. The RSPCA said the fox did not suffer.

Corgis are the favored dogs of the queen, who has owned more than 30 of them during her reign.

The dog died of natural causes at a Corgi breeders and was prepared and cooked by others for McGowan.

McGowan is well known for his outlandish performance stunts. He ate a swan in another protest against the queen. Swans are protected by the monarchy.

Hmmm no word from Faul about this? When Faul is officially boycotting and refusing to appear in China, supposedly because the Chinese "eat dogs" (while saying nothing about boycotting Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Nigeria and other nations that have the same practice?)

Very true. I wonder why "Sir Paul" hasn't responded to that yet ?

There are no photos of them eating the dog meat? Any of Yoko at the radio studio?

If you eat and/or hunt one animal, you can't really position yourself to judge someone eating one you consider "sacred". Well, we don't have the "sacred dog" in western culture, but for all intents and purposes.. it is. It may be painful for us to contemplate eating dog meat, but it's also painful for one of the Hindu faith to watch the consumption of any meat. Who's right?
