So hi again another guest post, but more a rant unfortunately!
“they” isn’t terrorists, it just begins to express how utterly stupid I think this is. And I’m not calling them terrorists either, but it’s the same twisted sense of logic which doesn’t work.
Basically a performance artist (yes artists are so well known for their carefully considered politics and reasoning) named Mark McGowan has eaten a Corgi dog apparently to make the point that the British Royal Family mistreats animals and has not been brought to justice over it.
I’d really love to believe this was a case of him making such a strong point by doing such a vile thing – but when he was then quoted as saying – “To me it was, as an art piece, exhilarating,” I seriously have to question whether he was just getting artistic cheap thrills from the exhibitionist show boating.
Here is the video of the event which was broadcast on radio:
I’m actually ridiculously pissed off by this, and am hoping it IS a stunt and they didn’t actually cook and eat a fucking dog (they apparently turned it into meatballs). Because I’m sorry but who the fuck demands an end to animal cruelty by eating a dog? It’s a bit like the NSPCC saying stop child abuse or we’ll kick the shit out of some toddlers.
Utterly retarded. And congratulations to Yoko Ono for joining in on something this fucking wretchedly misconceived.

The worst thing though is that they are calling it art, I mean what the hell? Art? I don’t think so.
The only thing that comes to mind is attention whores, and not even the nice sort of attention whores, but vile ones.
