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.<\/span>

<\/span>A group called Christians Against Dinosaurs denounced the T. rex statue on its Facebook page and called for its followers to rally in an effort to remove the statue.<\/span>

<\/span>When reached via Facebook, Christians Against Dinosaurs told Patch that the group’s mission is no joke.<\/span>

<\/span>“We’re fed up with everybody acting like the people of Tucson are imbeciles and we want to help,” a spokesperson for the group said. “Having a big dinosaur outside a cultural hub like McDonald’s makes Tucsonians look like they’re mentally deficient and that isn’t right.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
