urgent warning to all tree lovers

Seen on a recent hiking trip in the Finger Lakes. Do you think the City of Ithaca posted in this to avoid the nasty possibility of someone getting too attached to the tree and collapsing in grief when it was suddenly gone?

SunnyShine note: Perhaps this is a sign for the tree itself so it can come to terms with an impending date with the chipper. Think of it as death-row for trees. Could be more of a scarlet letter as well. Perhaps it was canoodling with an Oak from the other side of the tracks and now has to wear the sign in shame until doomsday. Perhaps I am tired and am blogging stupidity.
