All branches of the rowan berries tree - which is not far from the Rogaland Art Museum in Mosvannspark - is cut down.

The ten things that are full of Institute (Binkies) lay strewn across the path of Mosvatnet, but was cleared to the side of surprised and sad walkers Saturday morning.

Known symbol

Vandalism generally is sad, but this is particularly sad since Tutt (Binkie) tree has been an important symbol for many children in Stavanger, "said hiker Marianne Higson to Rogaland Avis.
Saturday she was out and ventilated dog Dylan, and was horrified when she saw the broken tree.
Hundreds of institute (binkies) attached to things that are now cut down and is next to the trail.
The tree has been a welcome help for parents who are struggling to get kids to stop Tutt (binkies.) I also think it's almost have been a little piece of art in nature, "says Higson.

Clearly planned

It does not look like random vandalism, because it is used saws to get the worn wood.
It is definitely planned.
Someone sawed halfway through the branches and then broken them off, "said Sollid Eirin Naess in Nature and sports service.
She is the supervisor for park maintenance in Eiganes / City and takes care of the branches and the bag (binkies) today.

Note: this after surviving earlier the Tutt Witch, who came & took all the binkies down to put in the bin/trash can (claiming some such nonsense about the tree not being able to breathe) - the Momma's came back after that & will again?! (or in Norway that would include the Poppa's too?!)
