Never mind man biting dog ...
Artist eats corgi to protest British royals� fox hunt; Yoko Ono also tastes it
| Quote: |
LONDON - A British artist has eaten chunks of a corgi dog, the breed favored by Queen Elizabeth II, live on radio to protest 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 Tuesday. Yoko Ono, another guest on the show, also tried the meat.
"I've never tasted anything like it � it was gray 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 breeder 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. |

Swan might be pretty good. I'm pretty sure dog meat isn't. I might've had dog meat before. In Taiwan.
Bosintang is just a pusee way to eat dog. Although Koreans do eat some pretty vile tasting things. Like those intestines.
And liver is never good anywhere.
So the guy's protesting the killing of foxes. So he eats some corki dog. What good does that do? |
