People do this sort of thing all the time all because they don't like the look of it, it's blocking their light, or ruining their view.

Some trees are entire ecosystems by themselves. It's no wonder we're one of the most nature countries in the world.
You surely can understand that this is a culturally significant tree to many people? That's like if stone henge was knocked down and you said "rocks get knocked over every day"
It's a colossally dense take but it's also from the person who described us as the "most nature country"
Sorry, I meant nature depleted
That’s like if stone henge was knocked down
It was. Just not recently.
It also looks like bits are still coming back these days:
