A road kill enthusiast who dines on animals hit by cars is facing prosecution by marine protection officers after announcing he will eat a stranded dolphin for his Christmas lunch.
Arthur Boyt intends to casserole the mammal for his festive meal after finding it washed up dead on a beach near his home.
But marine conservation officers say he may be committing an offence by eating the protected animal and are investigating whether his lunch breaks the law.
He may also be in breach of an ancient law which deems dolphins to be ‘Fish Royal’ and so possessions of the monarch.
