Why do they call them tree surgeons? They're not doing SURGERY on trees. They're KILLING them. Pollarding trees in a city because no one could be bothered with sweeping up leaves is TOTALLY EVIL. Trees need leaves to LIVE. We need trees to BREATHE 😭

Wondering why Christmas movies are always shot in summer with people going "brrrr it's so cold" when they're clearly sweating in their thin jumper 🤔
