[Arthur McGowan]

Absolute nonsense. Where were people getting all this human blood that, according to you, they were drinking and the Council was talking about?

The reference is to the blood of animals that had been sacrificed—as mentioned in the SENTENCE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE.

Nope:

For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
(Acts 15:28-29)

That's just a series of items strung together by a simple conjunction.  There is nothing grammatically, semantically, or contextually obligating an inference that only animal blood was prohibited.  

Peace,
