The Epoch Times New Zealand supermarket chain Countdown has temporarily removed knives from all of its shelves after an ISIS-inspired knife-wielding terrorist wounded seven people at a mall in Auckland.
Kiri Hannifin, Countdownâs general manager of safety, said in a statement on Sept. 4 a day after the attack that the company had decided to temporarily pull all knives and scissors from its shelves while it considers whether it should continue to sell them.
âLast night, we made the decision to temporarily remove all knives and scissors from our shelves while we consider whether we should continue to sell them. This is in no way a reflection on our customers, but an act of support for our team. We want all of our team to feel safe when they come to work, especially considering the events of yesterday,â she said.
