While I don't condone the actions, it does seem a little bit of an overreaction
However, my feeling is @Sassafras & also @Chalky 's Stalin paraphrase are right. It's the individualisation of this happening to an aesthetically attractive & famous tree that seems to illicit the outrage. Unknown trees of this age are being cut down in vast numbers all the time for grazing & to make stuff we probably don't need.
As for the perpetrator, I suspect they knew what they were doing was wrong, but trial by media isn't going to fix them, or put the tree back @Shrews may well have the measure of it. Sad alround really.
Remove yhe stump, plant a new tree, wait 100 years , job done.
Some people are utter cunts and simply don't deserve our sympathy, let alone any mercy. You could put him in a hole and, frankly, make the world a slightly better place.
Alternatively, to placate Daily Mail readers, ritually divest him of his 'nads using his own chainsaw.
Our "heritage" means nothing when money's at stake.
