Default Damn those loggers

Just wanted to rant a bit. I hate loggers that are not thoughtful. Those I am angry at in particular (and please if anyone has an advice how to properly curse them with some bad luck and illness) have this winter cut down about half of the trees, mostly oak and beech trees on a sacred place nearby. They drove there with heavy machinery, cut a new logging "road" and then selectively cut the trees on the site. It is an ancient site built by the celts, a square mound. It is not really known what the purpose of them was - towns, settlements or sacred sites, but they are sacred sites to all who are trying to reconnect to ancient local spirituality and connection to the land. There was even a little sign there (which now is missing) that told peopl to take home trash if they visit the place. People obviously had rituals there among the oak trees. Luckily (for now?) they left the largest of the trees standing and they did not put the machines on the mound - I guess that would be against the law that protects archaeological sites - but I still think this is a very sad event - dead oak tree branches all over the site...
This is the thrid time people are destroying sacred places in this area - I feel like there are soon no such places left. The other ones was that someone set fire in a living hollow tree that was standing on a peninsula of a lake nearby and the other was a clearcut next to a very beautiful piece of forest. The hollow tree even had a christian cross next to it, so it was at least a double sacred place (the cross also burned).
