Ents in the Shire... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My personal opinion regarding the fates of the Ents is somewhat grim... I have this feeling that they eventually became very tree-ish and woke less and less as the years wore on. This isn't based on anything, really, it's just a thought. I do like to think of the Ents and Entwives meeting in the West, though. No one's very hasty there anymore.

I always like to believe that wherever there's trees, there's ents! It gives hopes to those un-protected trees

Indeed! When I see a tree that's been chopped down I have the urge to say (and often do say), "See that? Somewhere, Treebeard is crying right now." Poor unprotected trees...

It's so true! I mean, imagine if you found the torso of a friend of yours lying on the ground? You'd probably cry too!

Ack... I must say I certainly would, after screaming like a banshee for about five minutes straight. Maybe a couple of Ents stuck around to protect the forests... like Smokey the Bear only more hardcore.
