Shocking animal protest of 'dog roast' stuns Henley Royal Regatta attendees
A shocking animal protest displaying a 'dead dog being roasted on a stick has left Henley Royal Regatta attendees 'stunned'. The daring stunt, which revealed a lurcher dog 'being cooked' under a banner that read 'The Great Dog Roast', occurred at the Henley Royal Regatta at Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, yesterday (3 July). The prestigious rowing event, attended by celebrities and royalty alike, attracted crowds of 300,000 spectators - and many were left 'horrified' to see the unusual delicacy: a dog roast. The stunt, in which a silicone model of a dog was used, was organised by the UK’s leading vegan campaigning charity, Viva! in a bid to 'challenge the perception that it’s socially acceptable to eat some animals but not others'. Viva!’s founder & director, Juliet Gellatley, said: “This Viva! stunt pushed boundaries and had the desired effect of shocking thousands of people into facing the reality that eating pigs, cows and other animals isn’t so different to eating dogs.
