@Titanium 147 - You just went from extreme to extreme. Somewhere in the middle, there are the thousands of Park Rangers that are employed by the Federal government as well as the State of California. They could post someone in this vicinity to protect the tree. Among all the ways they waste money, this would actually be legitimate and not _too_ expensive.
I read that the hikers are destroying the natural vegetation by walking all over them, creating new trails, defecating and leaving used toilet papers, littering, etc. The offenders should pick up 10 other people's defecations and garbage pieces and carry them out and dispose properly as punishment.
@@OG_HazelGrrl The irony is that the same fucktards who destroyed 95% of America’s old growth forests are now penalizing us tree huggers for being in what’s left of it. Ironic af.

Put up a fence or something marking a no trespassing sign, a large area out so its wont damage roots anymore than they have been and also have trail or hunting cameras watching 24/7 since you can't have park rangers baby sitting the tree. People bushwaking trees around hyperion to get a better look or better picture IS JUST WRONG. Hope we pulled some branches or something to graph or start growing a hyperion offspring or clone
Agreed, although I do think it’s good to get the warning out there and to let people know there are consequences to harming this tree. Bc some dumbass will try to say they were never told or they didn’t know. Well, the warning has been on blast all over net for the past 2 months. At this point, if someone intentionally goes to visit it, it’ll likely be viewed as culpable ignorance/negligence. If the person doesn’t care and defies the warning, disagrees with the fine that "ALL shOULD see THIS trEE" despite the current destruction, assumes that nothing will happen bc “ITz jUSt a TrEE, hehe,” or the fines are just a slap on the wrist, then be my guest.
Cus it’s the only one and we are human. I think we will live. You should try to live your life either way hun. The world won’t end if you miss this one tree 🤡🤡🤡
How do so many ridiculous penalties stay on the books. 6 months in prison for going near a tree?! For just going near it!! Causing actual harm maybe but mere proximity is insanity and violates the constitution.

I’m not the best person to explain it but basically it’s like in the movie avatar, they are all connected, and the oldest trees signal and guild the younger, without that you have lots of young, sick, diseased trees like we do now, it’s an overreaction to a problem few of us are informed on…I’m just a dumb roughneck so I’m legit the wrong one to do the explaining but you should totally look up some videos on the importance of old growth Forrest’s.
This is so stupid. They are letting murderers, rapists, drug dealers, muggers and thieves out on the streets and they want to give 6 months in jail and five thousand dollar fines for looking at a tree.
Why is it valuable if no one can appreciate it? It does nothing else a shorter tree would do and in fact you could probably learn something by cutting into it.
Sooo, if something isn’t able to be appreciated by the public it’s valueless and shouldn’t be protected? You know that all kinds of natural and historical sites have had to be closed to the public because the mere presence of the public destroys them, right? The sad thing is the oldest bristlecone pine isn’t even identified because the risk of some idiot vandalizing it to make a point or to make a name for himself is too high to risk it (this has already happened to other ancient and/or sacred trees). So a bunch of people can’t take selfies with it… oh darn.
The warning isn’t to those who can’t visit it, but those who have visited, left the place a mess and damaged Hyperion, and to any people in the future who think 2x about visiting it and are able to make the trek.
Trees aren't protected so a bunch of clowns like you get to see them. This tree is 800 years old, it is a living museum, they're not going to let a bunch of uneducated fools destroy it.
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, therefore, if you confess with your lips the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life. told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and liberates and gives eternal life
Just imagine the roots needed to support a 380 foot tall tree.
To be honest the tree should be protected , it’s the tallest tree...
So what? It’s a tree. I have a bunch in my back yard if you want one.
It should be protected but not subject to a half a year in jail
@@Platoface But are they.. The tallest trees? All hail the tallest tree, King of all trees. The King Tree's court, is not for the common rabbles eyes.

They were right to close it off, because humanity treated the tree badly.
You literally get more jail time for going near a tree than an actual violent crime. What a clown show.
There can be extremely stiff penalties for any damage to it, or even any attempt. But what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

But if you buy land you can bulldoze it and build one house that gets used 6 weeks a year and uses the same electricity as a small town
