I remember the reporting of the blood contamination scandals - especially aids - in Germany: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infektionen_durch_HIV-kontaminierte_Blutprodukte#Deutschland   There were also incidents elsewhere around the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contaminated_haemophilia_blood_products   People were dying from contaminated blood donations.   

    Her first name is Annegret, but otherwise I agree with you. I've noticed she's often referred to as AKK now.

  I never implied anything of the sort. What's wrong with you?

  Did I say anything of the sort?   

  Aw for God's sake, if she hasn't time to take the dog for a proper walk while the kids are at school, the family shouldn't keep a dog. 

Halal and kosher slaughtered animals is considered babaric to many people, as their throats are slit and the animal has to bleed until dead. 

No-one was forced to eat anything they didn't want to eat. They could choose. 

  Look, if people of other religous demonitions are invited as was the case here you cater for them like a good host, don't you? Not everyone likes to eat halal or kosher slaughtered meat. 

  Do you feel insulted? 

  What a stupid comparison. They should get over the pork issue regardless of what Allah allegedly said aeons ago. 

  So what? What's wrong with catering for everybody's preferences, muslims and non-muslims alike, as they clearly did? 

 

  This is getting ridiculous.

  I didn't think you meant me specifically, but your policing comment to whomever you meant (you must have meant someone, otherwise it was needless), was uncalled for. And I care very much about dogs. 

  Who is policing anybody here? I only read someone's concern about a dog being run tied to a bike through dense traffic at rush hour times every day. It's perfectly legitimate to voice one's own opinions on the subject. I was a busy mum with kids and dogs and never did that to to my dogs. I wouldn't take my dog to a busy Weihnachtsmarkt either. Stress for the dog.
