RIP 💔 How anyone could fell such an iconic tree is utterly heartbreaking and beyond belief
Complete madness, robbed many of the pleasure of walking to see it.
Weeping that yet another despicable human has taken such a beautiful icon down. I will never forgive you.
What has happened to the tree is an absolute tragedy. I cannot fathom why anyone would commit such a heinous act. To kill a living, breathing tree like this is just disgusting! 💔
Makes no sense 💔
