Won't Someone Please Think of the Trees?!

I must apologize to my readers in advance for an unforgivable lack of subtlety. Every fall millions of little life forms... baby trees already germinated and ready to grow into oxygen producing, shady oak trees are crushed before they have a chance to generate a tap root. It is bad enough that they are often victims of vicious predators like squirrels and birds, but what is most horrifying are the millions heartlessly squashed by passing vehicles and crunched under the murderous feet of pedestrians.This holocaust must end. Pray for the lives of these innocent acorns.
