police activity on avenue parade tonight..

glasgow guy · 13-09-2011, 19:51

My sister lives on avenue parade near the bottom and tonight after seeing and hearinga few blues and twos she had 2 police officers banging on her front window..when she opened the front door they asked her if she'd had any rspca people at her door as they had reports that bogus people are in the area..anyone else hear this?
To be honest I think there is more to it as the amount of cars and police power seemed excessive for a bogus caller..

i suppose in all fairness it depends what the bogus caller is doing if he gains access to someones home

They (RSPCA callers) were round at our house last night said we already had enough monthly pet expense....Don't they realise how much it costs to keep a westie?

I also had RSPCA at my Door yesterday, I've got two bunnies and a baby! He was very quick to move on to the next house.

I live on Avenue Parade, didn't see or hear any Police but did have someone saying they were from the RSPCA knock on my door yesterday afternoon asking for donations. He was a young tallish asian chap, very friendly to talk to even though i didn't sign up for giving any money. I saw him later talking to someone in a white van higher up!

Best Regards - Taggy

As well as asking for, and gaining,some cash it could have been a pretext for finding out which houses had dogs -possible future targets for burglars, they would obviously want to avoid any with dogs which would bark!

Think you may be a bit of target there mobertol, its not the barking that frightens them its the thought of being bitten, you ever seen an Asian with a dog, they just don't like them

I had heard before that muslims don't like dogs and so I looked it up.
Islam and dogs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suppose that the muslims who keep dogs are like the catholics who eat fish on Fridays.

I once asked an Asian lad I used to work with why they were so frightened of dogs. He explained that rabies was quite common in Pakistan and if you had ever seen anyone suffer and die from it you would understand their fear.

Talking of which the Catholic Church are reintroducing the no meat on Friday's rule as from tomorrow. So it's a fish supper tomorrow for me, jaysay, cashy and a few more on here no doubt.

so whats the reason for UK born muslims not liking them .Is it just a dislike passed down from generation to generation ?

not taking the pee there either but it seems some muslims born here will happily own a dog yet others have an irrational dislike for them.

It seems the muslims that are more westernized dont have a problem with dogs yet those that follow the whole tradition and wear the outfit and little hat etc do.

despite my best effort im sure i have just been very politically incorrect but one can only do one's best
