Police sniffer dogs may wear bootees to avoid offending Muslims

Last Updated: 9:24PM BST 06/07/2008

Police sniffer dogs may be forced to wear bootees when entering mosques and Muslims' homes to avoid causing offence.

The Association of Chief Police Officers has not ruled out
a suggestion that police dogs wear bootees.

In a bid to respect cultural sensitivities, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) is considering the move while drawing up new guidelines on the use of police dogs.

Many Muslims refuse to have direct contact with the animals, which are considered "unclean" in Islamic culture.

An ACPO spokeswoman said current guidelines were being re-drafted, but the suggestion that police dogs wear bootees had not been ruled in or out.

There’s just something wrong with people who have a cultural hatred for DOGS. We domesticated dogs back in Biblical times. If a whole culture can’t stand dogs I think it just goes to show how truly messed up they are.

Islam is nothing but the psychosis of Mohammad, writ large. Dogs are usually pretty good judges of character. I would be that Mad Mo had a few dogs growling at his crazy @ss, so that's why the Mohammadans hate dogs.

“I would be” should be “I would bet”.

Instead of booties, dip their paws in lard!

Did Neil Armstrong wear muzzie approved booties when he stepped on the moon god?

Except for goats, which are considered sexy.

I doubt that this latest effort by the jihadiscum is random.

There’s a good possibility that something is in the works that the dogs might help catch.

Sometimes this crap is just probes to see how far they can push, sometimes it’s purposeful. This has the smell of purpose to it.

No, you hateful polytheist! You who blaspheme our Prophet, PBUH! Just one hair from that unclean dog will profane my body as I prepare to pray to Allah the merciful by thumping my head on the dirt floor! As emir of the Anti-Canine Martyrs Brigades, I should behead you with this dirty old knife and get your Crusader blood all over my robe! /s

Fido better hide the bottoms of those booties from the poor sensitive Muzzies also, because showing the sole of the shoe is sign of disrespect in their wonderful “culture.”

They should use this pig for searches.



He already wears boots....

Speaking of PC. We were watching the movie “Old school” yesterday and the word *GAY* was bleeped out.

PC Police are pussy footing with your dogs. Taxes are paying for the booties.
