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. 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. |

Maybe these people ought to look at the real world of they really want to protest something. I think it's more a ploy to get some notice - bit sad really. |

The RSPCA, like the National Trust, at an upper, administrative, level, are nothing more than a section of the British Ruling Class ensuring that things go on the same for as long as possible. They'll never rock the boat. |

31 May 07 - 03:02 PM (#2065126) Subject: RE: BS: Man eats dog From: Little Hawk Yeah, and shih tzu tastes bloody awful! Really not worth the trouble, in my opinion. Throw Mark McGowan to the swans I say...and let the corgis clean up what's left over after the swans are done. |

( he said shaking his head... ) Reminds me of a wonderful afternoon one day, sitting with three Lacota pals... and one Crow. Now, one should know, that the Crow live in some discomfort with the Lacota, for a number of centuries ... We were in a luncheonette, in Connecticut. The waitress came over and one of the Lacota asked her if she had Humpee on the menue. "What is that", she asked... "Dog stew", the fellow replied. "YOU EAT YOUR DOGS!!!" she said in horror. "Oh no!" another Lacota gent said. "Our dogs are our pets. We eat dog, with reverence at times, but, we don't eat our own dogs." "Where do you get the dogs?" the waitress asked. All three, in unity pointed at Merrith Stops at Pretty Places, "The crow!" they said. Yummy, crowdog. all the best lorcan PS Anyone ever ate fox? |

01 Jun 07 - 10:51 AM (#2065723) Subject: RE: BS: Man eats dog From: JennyO Good saying, but I strongly doubt that I would ever be that hungry, when it comes to dog. On the other hand, if it had been marinated overnight? Maybe a nice plum sauce, or a lively chilli sauce would help. Then I could have a chilli dog. Do you think it will catch on? |

The Ojibwa (also called Chippewa) mixedblood writer Louise Erdrich has a story narrated by a dog whose name is "Almost Soup." SRS |

We have stopped by here again because we need sustenance and are again seeking good protein sources. The JohnInKansas did not work out as he was too tough - even after a week of marinating. We perceive that this 'dog' may be suitable for our purposes. Where can we find it? Thank you. |
