What a waste!!!

So this article is about the Germany government seizing like 1,000,000 pairs of conterfeit shoes. The geniuses decided to shred and burn them... Why not give them to poor people in Africa and South America? What an increadible waste of money and resources!

That is a lot of shoes...

Tough call though... do you want to put that much counterfeit merchandise into the market?

See your point, though... that could clothe a lot of people.

I don't think the shoes would get to 'the market' if they were given to poor people in a remote place (it would be too expensive for a bootlegger to gether them from the poor people, and then to transport them to a location where they could sell them for a profit) Just seems like something better than shredding and burning could have been done with them...

I have the same meaning like you, but it is written in the german law...that the shoes has to be destroyed!

Dying them all pink or something would make it clear they are counterfeit whilst still allowing them to be used...?

 

[Huehnerdiebin]

You are shocked because they destroyed shoes ?

They destroyed every day milk or butter when the farmers produced more than the european community has allowed them. Every day thousand little cocks were killed in the chicken farms, only the hen can live because they adduce money. They destroyed bread and in Germany are thousand little children who are hungry.

I don`t understand this kind of demolition but these is the business from the rich countries ........ don`t asked me why ........
