| This was huge news in the UK when it happened. Massive public uproar for an illegal felling. The perpetrators were both jailed: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6295zv9101o |

| I can understand the outrage. Was there any motivation given for why they cut it down? Just vandalism? |

They drove for over an hour in the middle of the night in foul weather to a remote location to cut down a particular tree. That suggests some preplanning. | |
| ▲ | domh 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yeah I think so. Attention seeking, maybe something to do with a planning application to live somewhere being rejected too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn811px4m7mo Honestly it's my first time looking at the story for a while! I just knew they got jail time for it. |
