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.

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.

Mosque is understandable but even Homes???If it offends them then why don't they keep their Mosques and homes for just a place to worship and live, why convert it into a breeding ground of terrorism.

And what about those pig eating human beings ( police officers ), as a whole if it offends them so much why can't they just leave these countries and go away , after all they are living in a ''Haraam ''country- where drinking, prostitution, poker etc is legal?

Please folks make up your mind as what you really want.
