Yesterday in Santa Clarita California, a reported ONE MILLION dollars was spent to move an old oak tree to make way for a road being constructed thru a new housing development.

The developers had originally planned to chop the tree down. To stop this from happening, some guy climbed the tree and made it his home for over three months, with people cheering him on. Finally, the developer gave up, and decided to move the tree to another location.

After they had finished moving the tree, a nearby female resident was interviewed at the site and said,

"It had to be saved, since it's a Living Being."
