That's a bit sick.
I'd be happy to protest against the monarchy. But not like that.
The Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland sounds so much better.

I can't quite comprehend how this is art. I will admit though that these people have a point. I just don't agree with the radical organization PETA. I mean they bomb buildings! How is this helping animals?
I like a good protest as much as the next person, but eating a corgi? Theres got to be a better way of protesting.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to eat a member of the royal family?

As a loyal supporter of our Union Jack and our dear old British crown I have to say that this man is a sick, twisted little s**tbag. We should celebrate our monarchy. Eating a dog is, to my mind, not an acceptable way to protest. Eat them in the Far East if you like them but we don't do this sort of thing here. We're British.

The monarchy is certainly not something we should celebrate.

Limey is a word for British salior I think. It originates from when British sailors were dying of scurvery due to a lack of vitam C and to stop it they started eating limes or something.

Ah right. I'm not a sailor. But I am British. And slightly crazy too I guess.

Yes, because clearly disagreeing with killing foxes should be expressed by killing and eating dogs. *rolls eyes*

PETA is pretty hypocritical, though; this doesn't surprise me much. After all, they want the cessation of all domestic animals and Ingrid Newkirk herself has come out in support of breed-specific legislation against pitties because one bit her. Animal lovers, my foot.
