A Tucson landmark won’t be going extinct anytime soon. Attempts to remove a fiberglass dinosaur statue outside of a McDonald’s have been thwarted.
A group called Christians Against Dinosaurs denounced the T. rex statue on its Facebook page and called for its followers to rally in hopes of its removal.
“Please help! This McDonald’s has this dinosaur and refuse to remove it!,” according to the Arizona Daily Star. “This is in Tucson, Arizona. Call the manager and demand the removal of this blasphemy!”
The post has since been deleted, but it also included the contact information for the McDonald’s franchisee, Dias Management Inc. The organization owns many McDonald’s locations in the Tucson area.
The dinosaur has resided outside of the fast-food joint since it opened on Grant Road and Tanque Verde Road in 1994.
According to its Facebook page and website, Christians Against Dinosaurs seeks to reveal the truth about the “dinosaur lie,” which they claim never existed. It claims dinosaurs are a scam invented by scientists to thwart religion. Over 23,000 people have liked the page on Facebook.
A spokesperson for Dias Management said the dinosaur isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, calling it a Tucson landmark. (Patch.com)
