eating a dog.

Quote:

A performance artist is to dine on a corgi live on radio to protest at the Royal Family and their alleged treatment of animals.
Mark McGowan will eat the dog, the Queen's favourite breed, in protest at the RSPCA's decision not to charge Prince Philip after the death of a fox earlier this year.

'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 for shooting a fox earlier this year,' Mr McGowan said.

And he claimed the prince allowed the fox to 'struggle for life for five minutes' before 'beating it do death with a stick'.
The corgi, which died at a breeding farm, will be consumed on the Bob and Roberta Smith programme broadcast on 104.4 Resonance FM at 9pm tonight.

The RSPCA said a thorough investigation into the death of the fox at the Queen's Sandringham estate in January had been conducted and 'found no evidence that offence of causing unnecessary suffering had taken place'.
In a statement they added: 'An independent post-mortem examination was carried out and found that the fox died from gunshot wounds and no evidence of other injury or trauma was found.'

Performance artist Mark McGowan

Mr McGowan has frequently courted controversy in the pursuit of his art.
He as eaten a swan, consumed a fox to highlight the plights of 'crackheads' and crawled the streets of Manhattan dressed a George W Bush with a sign on his back saying 'Kick My Ass'.

Sarcasm overload

Yeah just a little.
I don't really thinks it's that gross though. It's just another animal and it's not like it was killed for food. It just kind of died. If people can eat rabbits and stuff and not find that gross or tasteless then what's wrong with eating a dog. People in China do it every day.

Yeah, dogs being eaten is nothing new... But his reasoning behind it gives me a headache

Haha, yeah I don't really understand that. If you want to do something about fox deaths then go protest at a fox hunt. Eating the Queens favorite dog is only going to get her pissed and people won't ever take you seriously. Some people confuse me.

It appears that America isn't the only country that is plagued by Shock Jocks. I think that just like with Peta, the goal is to get people talking about the subject, which by this thread, it must be working.

Meat I NEVER will willingly or knowingly eat:

Dog, cat, rabbit, horse, snake, fox and many other wild animals.

Ummm, are you leaving out human meat for any particular reason? I haven't met many cannibals, thank goodness.

sillylilykitty · 05-29-2007, 11:12 PM

Human? Eww! That never even crossed my mind to eat it, since its kinda obvious that nobody would want to eat that. Except for cannibals.

I think its a very big deal as far as the people in China and Japan eating dogs. They have dog markets that house up to 50 dogs in what looks like a trap you use for catching crabs. They believe that the meat tastes better when the animals are abused and mistreated because of adrenaline rushes. They boil sacks of cats alive. So yes, there is a HUGE problem. You can find videos of it on youtube and I'm pretty sure you would think twice before saying it wasn't a problem again.

sillylilykitty · 05-30-2007, 12:17 AM

Exactly! Since when did people think that because China did it theres no problem. Well guess what, China kills its peoples human babies so should the rest of the world do it? No. I have seen videos of the way China treats animals and I have to say those videos are the most horrific I have ever seen.

You cant call a different culture weird or wrong. People in India think that its wrong for us to eat cow...

shitz_tease · 05-30-2007, 05:25 AM

its just wrong,wrong wrong.

. That guy needs a kick to the head for being so sick!

RubesMom · 05-30-2007, 06:00 AM

The way the Chinese treat dogs for consumption may be cruel, but what about the way the US treats cows, calves, chickens, etc. for consumption? It's not any better. Not to mention the way horses are treated IN THE US for consumption by foreign countries.

Amaya-Mazie-Marley · 05-30-2007, 07:28 AM

That is exactly why I am a vegetarian.

Dog doesn't taste like chicken, it's a darker white meat and it is very tough. Small dogs taste more like rabbit.

Cat and other small mammals taste better then most dog meats, and coyote tastes absolutely foul.

That is hypocritical; there are hundreds of thousands of feral dogs, cats and pets out there that don’t belong in the wild. Also, what makes a pig better to eat then a dog? Pigs are smarter.

That is so true that the animals ment for most of the US's consumption is wrong. And that would be why I only eat organic meat from animals that lived in a field and were treated very well and humanely.

How is that hypocritical? I said wild animals (tigers, lions, bears). A feral animal is not truly considered wild.

Im sure those animals were killed very "humanly". Perhaps we just asked them to die
