A BRITISH performance artist ate a corgi live on radio overnight in a protest at alleged animal cruelty by the royal family.

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.
