LONDON (Reuters) - Forget the soiled bedsheets and pickled animals, art has taken another outrageous turn in an example of the unspeakable swallowing the uneatable.

Performance artist Mark McGowan, who counts among his feats pushing a peanut along the road to Tony Blair's Downing street home with his nose, has eaten a fox, in protest at the public fixation with a government ban on fox hunting.

He described the roast fox, which he ate in public, as quite tasty, although he admitted to nearly vomiting at times.

"It was a bit like rack of lamb," he told Reuters on Wednesday. "The trouble was the retching noises from the other people in the room."

Too much attention is paid to fox hunting, he believes.

"One million people marched against fox hunting and another million marched for it. The housing estate where I live is full of crack-heads but no one marches to help them," he said.

"Everyone gets really worked up about a furry animal, but no one cares about each other."

McGowan plans to repeat the performance at an exhibition in London's Docklands on December 15.

Reminds me of a sign I once saw... "Save a cow! ... ... EAT A VEGITARIAN."

Did anyone see that Wife Swapping show that Fox has over the last two weeks? There was this vegan lady from Cali that was all about the furry animals... until the dog pee'd in the floor. At which point she proceeded to slap the dog silly and hold his head to the floor, as he yelped in pain. Gotta love hypocrisy.

Well I would say something about the name of this thread and the last picture that U-T posted... but I think it might be construed as too crude. :naughty:
