Corgi and mash

British artist Mark McGowan likes projects he can get his teeth into - like corgis. In a protest aimed at probably the world's most famous owner of corgis, the Queen, Mr McGowan ate meatballs made from a dead corgi to protest against animal cruelty - specifically '"that the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of which the royal family is a patron, had not prosecuted Prince Philip, the Queen's husband, for hunting and killing a fox" (Reuters & Sky News). Apparently the corgi, which is reported to have died from natural causes, may not become a favoured repast as it "tasted terrible". But hopefully his next project will remove any remnants of bad taste. He's to be buried in a box under about a metre of mashed potato. He did not say why.
