Never mind man biting dog ...

[Ban Hammer 14,291]

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.

That's disgusting.

I hope the guy got sick and puked. It's not very smart to eat an animal that just up and died. It means the dog wasn't healthy.

So what does this stunt prove? I'm not impressed.

So what does this stunt prove?

It was an audition to become a new cast member for the next "Jacka$$" movie?

Are we supposed to connect the words "artist" and "protester" seriously?

If we do stuff like that, we might as well start listening to actors talk about war!

While we're at it, let's eat a baby that died of natural causes to protest abortions. That's what a real artist would do.
