Botanical Euthanasia

My house is almost 100 years old, and I think this oak tree was planted around the same time as the house was built. I was so sad when the borough cut it down; as my neighbor said, I am a lover of all things living. But it was badly diseased, and no one, not even me, wanted it to fall down and crush a car, or a house, or an innocent passerby.
