Watch here:

One user wrote, "That tree grew in that spot for 80 years fighting drought and infestations only to be knocked over, killed, and used for an ass-scratcher. The indignity.''

Another user wrote, "Humans literally destroy whole forests and make hundreds of species go extinct each decade to fulfill consumerist whims. Humans have hunted tigers and rhinos almost to extinction just to collect some of their body parts. Humans are by far the worst.''
