I hope that legally, something very, very bad can be done to this person... painful is good, too.

[BARF WARNING!] 'Corgi tastes disgusting'

A performance artist has eaten a corgi live on radio in protest at Prince Philip's alleged torture of a fox.

Mark McGowan, 37, said the cooked dog - the Queen's favourite breed - tasted "really, really, really disgusting".

The corgi, which died at a breeding farm, was minced with apple and onion, reports Sky News.

The artist ate it on the Bob and Roberta Smith radio programme, broadcast on London-based station 104.4 Resonance FM.

Before the show, the vegetarian and animal rights activist explained his motives for the protest.

He said: "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 shooting a fox earlier this year, letting it struggle for life for five minutes and then beating it to death with a stick."

The radio show's presenter, Bob Smith, said: "I'm not convinced it's corgi."

But Mr McGowan insisted he trusted the two ladies who cooked the dog.
He said: "It's stinky, it's white-looking - it's not like any meat I've ever seen."

The RSPCA said it had investigated the alleged incident involving Philip at the Queen's Sandringham estate in January and "found no evidence that an offence of causing unnecessary suffering had taken place".

Our Lady of the Dead Cat Carcasses

Hundreds of Dead Cats Found

EAST ORANGE, N.J. (AP)

May 20, 2005 - Public works employees in East Orange today plan to remove hundreds of cat carcasses from the back yard of a woman who operates one of New York City's no-kill animal shelters.

Animal welfare officers say they were sickened by the stench when they arrived at Marlene Kess' home yesterday. They found 48 living cats in the house and more than 200 dead cats stuffed in garbage bags. Kess, who moved from Manhattan in July, was cited for several health code violations. She's also charged with failing to properly shelter cats.

A Brief History of Disembodied Dog Heads



FROM THE "BEWARE OF THE BLOG" WEBSITE OF WFMU:

Did Soviet scientists actually keep a disembodied dog head alive back in the 1940s? Did those crazed Stalinist Frankensteins then follow up that stunt by surgically creating a two headed dog in 1954? (That is, if "two-headed" is accurate - it's more like two heads, six legs and one-and-a-half torsi.)

Sorry, I just wanted to use the word "torsi."

And forget the Soviets - what about the monkey brain that a Cleveland surgeon transplanted from one primate to another? Are these all Internet hoaxes, or the only known evidence of a subject too taboo to be taken seriously - the research into head and brain transplants that's been going on for decades?

I wish I had definitive answers for you - I don't. But I'm more inclined towards believing that these experiments actually took place than when I first stumbled onto this weird medical sub-culture. After starting off as a skeptic, I've come to believe that organisms have indeed been revived. Heads have been lopped off. Brains have been perfused. Cephalic members transplanted. Glucose permeated in isolated canine craniums. The works.
