Man eats corgi dog as protest.
He said:
"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."
It seems that the RSPCA were unable to find enough evidence of cruelty to prosecute but 'they would, wouldn't they'..
The queen has owned more than 30 corgis during her reign, which started in 1952, and currently owns four - Pharos, Swift, Emma and Linnet.
IMO: It seems to me that the Royal Family, if they want to remain as some kind of worthwhile emblem for this country, need to have more effort spent on projecting a wholesome image. Blood sports are a rather childish and inhumane activity and should be avoided by them. There are plenty of chances for genuine risk, sport and indeed heroism and the Royal family are hardly part of these, and by now would not be believed if they were. We only need to look at the rather left handed involvement of the younger Princes in the Armed Services and cannot help detecting a whiff of craven cowardice (all round) there.
