A British performance artist has eaten part of a corgi -- the breed of dog Queen Elizabeth II favors as pets -- to protest the alleged mistreatment of animals by the royal family.
Mark McGowan dined on corgi meatballs Tuesday at a table set up on a London street in hopes of drawing attention to media reports that Prince Philip, the queen's husband, had beaten a fox to death during a hunt. The event was broadcast over a live radio program.
Lots of cultures including tribal cultures here in the US still eat dog. Eating dog was survival to them since wild meat supplies could be chancy. They just never got out of the habit and I can't condemn them for it.
This was a stupid stunt, though. I feel sorry for the poor dog the way I feel sorry for any animal that dies in terror so that we can have meat.
