Our dogs are fed on Jehovah’s Witnesses

Amazed widow Jean Groves was told by police to remove a notice on her fence which reads: "Our dogs are fed on Jehovah’s Witnesses."

The sign hung there for thirty-one years without complaint.

Even Jehovah’s Witnesses treated it as a laugh. And as soon as the politically correct PCs left, pensioner Jean put the sign back up again.



The only dog at her home is a three-month-old Jack Russell named Rabbit.

Mum-of-two Jean, 77, who has lived in the same house in Bursledon, Hants, for 48 years, said: “My husband Gordon hung it up and it’s been there ever since. No one has said anything in all that time.” Jean, a retired nurse, added: “The police said it was ‘distressing and offensive and inappropriate’.”

Mrs Grove’s son Richard, 53, said: “We never had a visit from Jehovah’s Witnesses for years, so I suppose the sign did the job.

A Jehovah’s Witness said: “If we see signs like that we just walk away.”
