A BRITISH performance artist ate a corgi live on radio overnight in a protest at alleged animal cruelty by the royal family.
Mark McGowan, who once ate a swan in a performance art show, said the cooked canine - the Queen's favourite breed of dog - tasted "really, really, really disgusting''.
Yoko Ono, who was also a guest on the Bob and Roberta Smith radio program broadcast on London-based arts station 104.4 Resonance FM, tasted the dog but "looked a bit strange'', McGowan said.
The corgi, which died at a breeding farm, was minced with apple, onion and seasoning, the British Press Association reported.
Before the show, the vegetarian and animal rights activist explained why he was protesting.
"I know some people will find this offensive and tasteless but I am doing this to raise awareness about the RSPCA's inability to prosecute Prince Philip and his friends shooting a fox earlier this year, letting it struggle for life for five minutes and then beating it to death with a stick,'' he said.

I don’t think Queen Betty would appreicate that
I think ole Betty won’t be amused
Is she corgi owner
Her Majesty would not be amused...
He should move to North Korea - but then again all the cats and dogs are all gone now. Someone told me that there are no birds in North Korea anymore either.
If it was cooked, I doubt it was alive when he ate it.
Dog gone... what’s the world coming to?
Well, then throw both of them in the nick.
Hot Dog!
Yeah that what I mean oh this guy so busted with PETA in UK
“Performance art”..”Conceptual art”..all terms to describe lack of talent.
I hope the corgi died of some dread disease that the “artist” will come down with and die from.
And this is art???? The guy needs to be put in a strait jacket and carted off to Belam ASAP. Or maybe just skip all the formalities and feed him to some very hungry corgis.

"Let them eat cake and not corgi"

Brits have never quite gotten hold of that whole cuisine thing. Everyone knows that this breed needs adequate marinade in soy sauce and sesame oil, proper grilling with rosemary and celery, and served with hoisin sauce, fava beans and a nice chianti. {Lechter mode off}
And I quote: “Yoko Ono, who was also a guest on the Bob and Roberta Smith radio program broadcast on London-based arts station 104.4 Resonance FM, tasted the dog but “looked a bit strange’’, McGowan said.”
I guess this was one of the reasons she did not get along with Linda McCartney.
The Brits used to be better at spotting irony.
“...inability to prosecute Prince Philip and his friends shooting a fox earlier this year, letting it struggle for life for five minutes and then beating it to death with a stick,” he said.
Sigh! If you hunt you should carry a “Finishing Pistol.” Everyone who wants to hunt should take the opportunity but you should take every reasonable action to minimize suffering.
