Fun facts: the UK has crazy laws protecting trees and hedgerows. There's a national tree registry for old boys.

A tree owning itself and it's a white oak tree, who would have guessed. You can be victim of specicism and still a white supremacist. Think about it.

Much worse. This tree was given freedom in the Southern US. Slavery was still ongoing. The University of Georgia leased out it's slaves.

So this tree was more important than actual people.
