The News

Normally, I don't like to write about news entries, but this one really got to me. There is an artist by the name of Mark McGowan in Britain who decided to do the most stupidest form of protest I have ever seen. He ate part of a dead Corgi dog in order to protest the hunting behaviour of Prince Phillip. Now, I am for animal rights, but how is eating a Corgi suppose to be a protest against abusing animals? The dog died of natural causes, but still it's not really the right thing to do.

I've been trying to keep up with the news in the U.K. and U.S. Sunderland has a paper called the Metro that comes out daily and I usually grab a copy during lunch or sometimes I wait until I get back into the room before I read it. I use Yahoo! and CNN to keep me updated on what is going on within the United States. All of these sites have also been useful for research and news stories for my Television Studio class.

Here's the link if you want more information about what happened. I can't believe Yoko Ono joined in as well: click here
