Performance artist woofs down a corgi

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.

Ye gods, is there anything more useless on God's Green Earth than a 'performance artist?'

Just yesterday my daughter was teasing me by informing me that she had decided on a career: Interpretive Dancer.
