On Thursday, about 20 former South Korean soldiers trained to infiltrate North Korea killed a species of pheasant similar to Japan's national bird in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul, in protest at the territorial claim.
 
The group, which appears frequently at protests aimed at Japan, then beat the dead pheasants with hammers and hacked them with knives so their blood would run on Japanese flags that carried pictures of Japan's prime minister.
 
They then ripped the carcasses apart and ate livers from the freshly killed fowl. No one was arrested for the protest.

About 40 military veterans wearing army uniforms staged a gory protest outside Japan's embassy.
 
They cut the heads off live pheasants and dripped the blood on Japanese flags and on pictures of Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda and former Japanese leaders, witnesses said.
 
The pheasant is Japan's national bird.
 
Some battered birds to death with hammers. Others cut open the bellies of two birds and ate the livers, shouting: "Dokdo is our territory!"
