    That's an odd way to protest, for sure. 0-o

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    Odd yes, but his words will be heard now.
    The dog died of natural causes, so it doesn't bother me at all.

    However I have no issues with people eatting dogs where its food.... meats meat. Here in North America its a crime as a dog is not a food item, so I'll be against killing a dog for meat here.

    No kidding it didn't taste good. It was probably 16 years old. What a strage way to protest, but at least the dog didn't die for the cause, it died on its own.

    I guess I'm not so sure why this is all that bad? The dog dies of natural causes and he cooked the meat. I'm sure there are cultures out there that eat dog meat. Now if he bought and butchered a Corgi then I'd be outraged, but that's not the case.

    I guess the sad truth is that I eat dead cow, dead chicken, dead fish, dead pig and other animals that didn't die a natural death and I don't see how that is any less disgusting than eating an animal that passed from natural causes.

    That said I think it is a lame way to protest, but at least he didn't harm anything in order to protest, other than maybe his stomach.

    It makes no sense to blame the dogs in any way in this protest.
    Now if he ate a human Englishman, it would make more sense.

    I am not bothered by him eating the dog, he didnt kill, it died naturally.
    I just dont get what that has to do with a fox hunt??? Makes no sense to me at all! How is eating a dog protesting a fox hunt??

    I see the point of his protest. He's saying "Why are some animals protected and others not?" The reason he used a Corgi because they are the Queen's favorite. He's asking why the Corgis are more special to her than foxes.

    While it is not the way I would have protested the hunts, since the dog did die of natural causes I don't think he has done anything particularly wrong, just strange.
