Protesting the fox hunt by.....eating a dog??

[IRescue452]

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.

This is sickening.

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.

[sabies]

This just makes me sick. It's less upsetting since the dog was not killed but still. Yes people eat other animals (I don't) but this guy is in a country that does not consider dogs food, so it is just gross. It's so gross that it distracts from the fox hunt so I don't know how effective of a protest it is.

I found this very amusing.

Actually, the fact that the dog came from a Corgi breeder was very disturbing to me. The fact that someone who supposedly has an interest in the improvement and dignity of the breed handed over one of his/her dogs for this protest is very distasteful (I was trying to find another word but couldn't sorry). I hope someone identifies the breeder and that it causes them to lose any future business.

I'm upset that Yoko Ono is in the news again.

Actually,
Having seen people on Fear Factor eating raw pig rectum, seeing someone munch on Corgi Balls lets me know that there people far dumber than I am.


what if the dog died of heartworm, rabies, tapeworms or mange?

UGH....

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Eating Prince Philip would have been a better idea. Corgis aren't used for fox hunting...

I do not wish that on the breeder. Chances are the breeder is VERY against the horrid killings of the foxes & really wants it to stop. If donating the body of his past loved one has a chance of saving thousands of foxes!

My dad is donating his body to a university, where they are going to hack him a part. He is donating his body hoping that one day it'll save thousands of people.

Both are the same. They are for the greater good.

Brody's Mum,

I'm sure the taste would be quite bitter, actually.

Please! There was nothing noble about this; there were no lives saved as a result of this; there was no knew knowledge gained from him eating three bites of cooked corgi. This was nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt, as witnessed by the fact that it was done "on the air." Do not equate this with donating your body to science.

I agree!!

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 agree 100% that it makes no sense. That's why I thought it was a lame way to protest. The news article mentions that he protested the treatment of a fox during the hunt, so I don't know that he is protesting the hunt itself. Really, it sounds like he's just trying to irritate the royal family that loves corgi dogs. They mistreat foxes and he performs an act to simulate mistreating something that they are fond of.

Either way, it doesn't really bother me for some reason. The hunt was more cruel than the protest IMO.
