Two 200 year old trees to be removed from ISU campus for new dorms

[roundball]

I know right!!! Morons caring about trees. Im with ya buddy.

I'll take it a step further and dump some hog manure into a stream the next time someone defends a tree on here.

I disagree. You can plant more trees, but at what cost? These trees are 200 years old. Any good building architect would be able to find a way to incorporate the trees into the building design. I am shocked that two of some of the oldest trees in Ames are going to be cut down to make room for more college goons. Since 1815 these trees have been around. Ames wasn't even founded at this point. They are older than Ames itself. What right does Iowa State have to remove them?

These trees are worth much more than their montary value indicated (Hackberry - $61,240 and Black Walnut - $30,571). Other states have created laws against removals of these kinds of trees (california for example). It is unfortunate Iowa is still behind the times. It should be an honor to have these trees and protecting them should be Iowa State's mission.

The trunk diameter of the Hackberry and black walnut are 48 and 38 inches thick respectfully. You can plant more trees, but we will never see them be this grand in our lifetime.

I don't really want to be doing anything that California is doing right now.

I hope cyco cares about other things in his/her life as much as these trees.

Wildlife and endangered animals

Disgusting humans that feel manly for stalking and killing wildlife with high powered rifles are the lowest of the low.

That's actually against the law....I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Agreed. Being prosperous totally sucks.

If this turns into how terrible conventional farming is and how everyone should be vegan and organic, I'm going to be...not surprised. Also annoyed.

What, you don't enjoy paying twice as much for something that tastes bad?

I can guarantee you two things

1. I hate the Hawkeyes
2. I have never trolled on CF. I firmly believe in saving the trees and all wildlife.

So if I told you that I was working on a thesis project that involves creating a fungi that produces copious more amounts of lignin peroxidase, you'd hate me?

Ahhh I see you like Runza. I wish Iowa had a Runza.

I love eating all kinds of animals. Here is a list of things I've eaten in the past few years (off the top of my head)

Kangaroo, turtle, rabbit, rattle snake, camel, goat, alligator, stingray, bear, shark (farm raised), eel, frog (just the legs), snail, conch, and others.

Each and every one of those animals was delicious.

Ok I hope Ames and DSM get a Runza. It would be pretty popular I imagine.
Give me 5 fresh and hot Cheese Runzas, a large Frings, soda or shake, and some ranch and I am more than happy.

Noob. I only eat animals if there are less than 50 of its kind remaining in the wild. Next on the list: fried panda.

In all seriousness, from your list I've had shark (not farm raised), goat, rabbit, and conch. Ever had iguana? Pretty tasty, actually. Your list is pretty impressive.

They had a game feed in Cedar Rapids for a fundraiser, and I think I ate 11 different kinds of animal at it. Yum.

Ed Stowe (spelling) DMWW will sue your *** for that.

Why is my mom your avatar? Where did you find that pic?!

I'd love to say I have pics of somebody's mom but I pulled it out of ruxCYtable's thread about Clyde Williams stadium pictures.
