Very sad!To be this large this tree has to be ancient.How sad to have been alive this long to be cut/killed for profit and greed.Humans have become an apathetic scourge on our planet.
via Facebook
Unfortunately, I agree. The scourge of the Earth.
via Facebook
And we can't claim ignorance anymore.We know what is happening,we are systematically killing off everything that makes our planet liveable.
via Facebook
You know trees grow back right? In fact the under growth that would replaced that tree would produce more oxygen then that tree
via Facebook
It's sad that some people value trees more than human life.
via Facebook
Or realize that without those trees cut down they couldn't live the way that we do
via Facebook
Forests need to be regenerated to stay healthy. I'll bet the naysayers live in stick built houses.
via Facebook
I value all life,never said trees more important than humans,humans need trees to produce oxygen.No it's not necessary to take the trees of this size.Forests did just fine regenerating themselves before we came into the picture.There are alternatives such as hemp,check into the products,even building materials for homes.Funny how expressing an opinion gets you trolled immediately.Wake up sheeple.
via Facebook
Because I may have a different opinion than you does not mean that I am smarter than you or you are smarter or more educated than I am. Just a difference. It doesn't mean I am a "sheeple ". You may be a junior Einstein for all I know but that comment is rude, narrow minded , totally ungracious not to mention smug and self- righteous.

And now they are saying around the Baltic Sea, is becoming toxic. Now I bet everyone should had listened to Al Gore. He won the Peace Prize for it. And we are still ignorant

LOL OMG! I can't get a breath here and it has nothing to do with trees. Lumber companies in modern times reforest...far more trees than they take. Old growth lumber in CA was used for not only building but for shoring up gold mines! Deforesting was done and out of ignorance more than greed. Do you ever stop to think this was all done BY HAND? They had no gas powered chain saws or big machinery. We can mourn the old growth, but we can also be sensible and plant trees when ever and where ever we can. Turn your attention to the now and here, the Rain Forest is something to worry about.

As this majestic ancient tree was cut down, it reached out a tiny trembling limb towards the sky and gently breathed it's last words " Natalie Challingsworth... *cough wheeze*... Avenge meeeeeehhhhhhhh...... Free my people...... You are the chosen one... Go forth and criticize all who kill trees to survive" and then it died.
There's nothing that you could have done anyway. *condescending pats*

via Facebook
Oh stop it, you look fat when you cry! You should practice crying inside like a winner! But wait, what are you still doing here?! You have a MISSION to attend to! GO AND AVENGE ALL THE FALLEN TREES and Take this: 🌱 you can use it to help regrow new trees since b******* at random dead people on the internet wasn't getting you anywhere.
via Facebook
The diff,I only look like this one time a year for Halloween,lol.Hard to look fat when I weigh in at 104 lbs.Again,grow up.You have nothing pertinent to say.Stop trolling,your really reaching and no I don't tea party,I'm a grown up.
via Facebook
Not pats . Call it like it is with capital letters. B****

Maybe a happy tree will make her feel better since I so easily hurt her tender feelings 🌳

Sorry he past away. Watch him all the time. He was Great.

In the name of 'progress'.. The colonist mindset of the time ( and still now) was not about sustainability.. was not about taking what you need.. It was about satisfying the greed and need to control and dominate the landscape. As the years go by, and more and more ancient trees are felled, their value will be realised one day.. When you cant fucken breath from lack of oxygen ! , when you are scorched and burnt from no shade, when you are windblown from no shelter, when you are undernourished from no fruit.. When your land has been washed away from erosion..yes I do blame men like this..and yea agree totally with Natalie. All the smug comments, self justifications, intellectual speak won't save your a**.. But a tree can.. CHOP a tree down, build one house... Leave it there, build a future.. What say you?
via Facebook
Thank you Rae.Couldn't seem to get across to them the value and the cost of our actions.Xo to you my friend.
via Facebook
I guess you haven't ever seen a tree actually grow. They do regenerate you know but No I don't think you do know. Please don't reply to my reply as you appear to be too self righteous to think anyone else knows anything.
via Facebook
Let me know how the tree fairs against forest fires from not doing any clearing and wind and drought.....
via Facebook
Whats your house made of, Rae? You talk your ignorant c***, and turn around and buy a house built of lumber. Ignorant liberals......
via Facebook
I highly doubt her house is made of old growth lumber, and that's what the problem is here; the cutting of old growth trees.
via Facebook
It's a giant chestnut tree, you idiot! Disease killed them off in the late 18-1900's and they were all cut down because THEY WERE DEAD.
via Facebook
It was a different time. People had a mindset that the needs of humans was paramount. I'm sure they weren't thinking of much else but food, clothing and shelter most of which they supplied for themselves. It is unfair to judge them as greedy. They were just trying to survive in a period of time that we can only imagine. They didn't know what we do now. And this is a great picture, by the way.
via Facebook
Where R our big chestNut trees at they promised to replace.

I have some chestnut from a old barn i use for knife handles !

Setting here made at those dam loggers for the all mighty dollar. Destroyed Morgans achestnuts trees b 4 me an you were born. Said they were huge n morgan. Loved to live back then. Said 8 to 12 Ft. N diameter 1to 150' tall. Now that what i call a forest.
via Facebook
You like me you missed the to. Me an you an Oleta Kendal could have played n those woods. May be i would have stayed out of the creeks.😉
via Facebook
Wow! I would have been terrified the tree would smoosh me flat! Awesome picture. I'd like to know if some of these people live in houses, have furniture, read books. You know, all the stuff we make from trees to live life. I'm all for planting trees, and not clearing all the land of trees and vegetation, but good gravy. You'd think these men we're holding a dead body up.

Say a prayer for the poor trees lololol:

Why people have to be so angry. They way back then didn't know better. People in ancient lands didn't do so much better in concerving. That was the past, what is important is to save our home now. In all the earth we can teach people to take care what we have.
via Facebook
I cannot believe people here are debating environmental issues with regard to this picture! This was taken in NINETEEN THIRTEEN and WOOD from TREES was used for just about EVERYTHING. And men with great big saws that took two to use and axes cut them down!! For God sake learn perspective. You sound like idiots.
via Facebook
I personally think it's photo shopped simply because using an axe to cut a tree is not going to leave such a nice clean smooth surface. But who knows. Cool pic tho
via Facebook
Certain they used far more tools than one axe, have you never seen a two man saw?
via Facebook
very true, we know better now, but you are so right.
via Facebook
Try Lake Tahoe, they can't cut a tree in their own yard without permission.
