   (Sky News) - British TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall claimed that   
   eating puppy meat is no more morally objectionable than consuming pork.   
      
   The celebrity chef previously shocked viewers by eating placenta pate,   
   curried fruit bat, giraffe and calf testicles and now claims that he   
   would not be against a "high-welfare organic puppy farm."   
      
   Fearnley-Whittingstall, the star of Channel 4's "River Cottage," was   
   asked by British magazine Radio Times whether he would try loin of   
   Labrador or cat liver.   
      
   "Not unless I was on the point of starvation," he replied. "In principle,   
   but not in practice, I have no objection to a high-welfare organic puppy   
   farm."   
      
   He added, "You can't object, unless you also object to the farming of   
   pigs. It's an artificial construct of our society, a cultural decision,   
   to make pets out of dogs and meat out of pigs. Both animals could be used   
   the other way round, although pigs probably do make better meat than dogs   
   and dogs better pets than pigs, but it's not a foregone conclusion."
