爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
This was exactly what Bok had been playing for. The aigrettes were now useless; they could not be reshipped to another State, they could not be offered for sale. The suit was dropped, and Bok had the satisfaction of seeing the entire shipment, valued at $160,000, destroyed. He had not saved the lives of the mother-birds, but, at least, he had prevented hundreds of American women from wearing the hallmark of torture.

白话
这正是博克想要的结果:羽饰既不能转卖到其他州,也不能上架销售,官司自然撤诉。他眼看着价值16万美元的整批货被销毁,感到满意。他没救回母鸟的命,但至少让几百名美国女性没法再戴这种“折磨的标志”。核心是:改变供需,有时要直接让违规商品失去流通价值。做法是:用法律手段切断销路,让囤货者无利可图。代价是商品销毁,但能震慑市场,比单纯说教更有效。
上下文
博克反对用白鹭羽毛做帽子装饰,因为捕杀母鸟取羽极其残忍。他推动立法并拦截走私货。
今日一问
你反对的某样东西,能否先切断它的销路,而不是只劝人别买?
