Because they don't like trees and plants. Especially if these trees and plants are in your yard and they don't like the look of them. I'd say a water hose on full blast sprayed in their direction would be a lot of help.
I like things growing on my property. However, since we have this Emerald Ash Borer insect killing all the ash trees, I gotta whip out the chain saw and cut them down.
They need a tree shrink. Saw this guy walking down the ST and cursing out every tree he saw and assaulting each and everyone of them saying the whole world needs to get rid of all the trees. I said leave the trees alone. He said F...ing tree lover and tried to assault me...LOL
