‘Artist’ Will Eat Corgi on Live Radio in Protest at Royal Family
An ‘artist’ who has previously courted controversy by eating a swan in a ‘performance art show’ is to eat a Corgi on live radio.
Mark McGowan says he intends to eat the dog in protest at Prince Philip for shooting a fox earlier in the year.
McGowan suggests this stunt is a legitimate protest against the Royal family’s treatment of animals which is why he has selected to consume the Queen’s favourite dog breed.
He said: “I’m raising awareness at the inability of the RSPCA to prosecute Prince Philip and his friends for shooting a fox this year. It was left to fight for life for five minutes then beaten to death.”
The dog he intends to eat died at a breeding farm and McGowan will eat the animal on a London radio show, May 29th.
RSPCA officials have refused to criticise McGowan for eating the dog and have explained that they investigated the fox shooting incident involving Prince Philip, saying: “If the dog’s dead he’s free to eat it.”
K9 Magazine editor in chief Ryan O’Meara condemned the stunt: “This is neither artistic nor a reasonable form of protest. Eating a dog denies the animal any dignity and this appears to be nothing more that a self serving publicity stunt which tarnishes the name of legitimate animal welfare campaigners.”

I have a corgi and I think this is disgusting. That animal was probably loved very much by someone and doesn’t deserve to have this done to them.
