LONDON (Reuters) - A British woman has been ordered by police to take down a sign on her garden gate which read "Our dogs are fed on Jehovah's Witnesses."

Janet Grove, who owns a terrier puppy called Rabbit, insisted the sign was a gentle joke to discourage callers at her front door.


Her late husband put the sign up more than 30 years ago when members of the church called at their house on Christmas Day.


But police were forced to act after receiving a complaint.


"We were informed by a member of the public who found the sign to be distressing, offensive and inappropriate," a police spokesman said. "Officers attended the address and the sign was voluntarily taken down."

What made me laugh was this bit......:lol:

Well there you have it P.C. Madness strikes again, I just wonder if she informed the police of her sign had been up for a good 30 years.

Who asked to have it taken down? Some young prick who just moved in?

Whats offensive about it anyway? Some people would find a Jehovahs Witness even coming to your door offensive. Like someone approaching you and saying "Im sorry but I noticed that your current set of beliefs means that you are going to burn and suffer eternally in hell!" Whats worse? Dogs fed by Witness meat or you burning eternally in hell? PC is such a joke.

Let's see... they are free to come onto your property at any ungodly hour of the morning to wake you up and hand you crap they could have slipped in your mailbox - but you're not permitted to put up a light hearted sign telling them to go bother someone else instead? Wow. What a great use of law enforcement too. :down:
