German customs officials in Baden-Wuerttemberg have seized a giant elephant’s foot sent from the U.K. that had been converted into a tasteless, velvet-covered container before being posted to a customer in Switzerland.
The illegal item, which the German customs officials said was “tasteless” and lacking the proper paperwork, had been posted from the U.K. to Germany and was reportedly intended as a “gift”, to be picked up by an unnamed Swiss person in Weil am Rhein, which is a town in south-western Germany, in Baden-Wuerttemberg, where the French, German and Swiss borders meet.
Weil am Rhein is located right on the German border with Switzerland, just 1.24 miles from it.
