LONDON, England (AP) -- A British performance artist has eaten part of a corgi -- the breed of dog Queen Elizabeth II favors as pets -- to protest the alleged mistreatment of animals by the royal family.
Mark McGowan dined on corgi meatballs Tuesday at a table set up on a London street in hopes of drawing attention to media reports that Prince Philip, the queen's husband, had beaten a fox to death during a hunt. The event was broadcast over a live radio program.
Yoko Ono, featured on the same radio program, also tasted a bit of the dog, McGowan said. Ono's spokesman did not immediately return calls or e-mails seeking comment.
"We love our animals in Britain," McGowan told AP Television News. "Why is it then that we then allow people -- especially people who are supposed to be ambassadors for this country -- to treat animals with such disrespect?"
Buckingham Palace declined to comment, and Britain's top animal-protection charity said there was no evidence to support the claim that Prince Philip abused the fox.
To make the corgi more palatable, it was minced with apple, onion and seasoning, turned into meatballs and served with salad.

There is no way I would eat my dog. I know, some of you may say if I got hungry enough I would. No, I wouldn't. I love animals as pets. Especially dogs.
To some of you it may be hypocritical for me to say I would not eat a dog, yet I eat, rabbit, fish, seafood, beef, pork, turtle, lamb, turkey, chicken, etc;
My dog loves me and I care for her as well. It's unconditional and she is part of the family.
