    I know this is freaky, but from my viewpoint it seems cruel to do this to a tree. It made me sad and I wondered if the tree died as a result or was dead already.

    Those trees are wishing humans hadn’t done that.

    I feel so very terrible for those bent up coins. I could only imagine how they feel. I really wish people would think about their feelings too.
