Incredible but True: There is fear that consumer demand might result in gnome trafficking. "We have documented cases of gnomes being smuggled into the Czech Republic from Poland," said UNHCR legal officer Lawrence Bottinick. "The Polish gnomes are often promised jobs in German gardens, but they end up working the highway. The smugglers take their passports from them. Sometimes they don't even survive the shipping; cheap gnomes are very fragile." |
