Can a tree be murdered?

RE: Can a tree be murdered?
Don't we kill the whales? Isn't there some system in place for transference of guilt? Like a food chain of murder charges.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Clearly. She should certainly be charged with her crimes. However, beyond it being arson and destruction of public property (it's a national park, I believe), she really did nothing more than what our species does all the time. She ruined a tree. It sucks that it was an old tree, but you don't get extra murder charges for killing an old person. Wink

In all seriousness, further charges should apply. I'm fairly certain destroying landmarks or exceptionally rare items has some law on the books.

Sure, she burned down a "tree", however, the rarity of that singular tree and what it meant for the community should entail no less outrage than taking a public shit in your cities #1 fountain.

I would be for a VERY, VERY expensive plaque commemorating her extreme stupidity if she is forced to pay for it.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
