Dino the Sinclair Dinosaur

Its interesting how we realize how much joy a little thing bring once its totally disrupted-like dino the sinclair gas station's dinosaur statue. I loved that dinosaur. i honestly filled gas there only a few times, but he made me happy to drive by--and apparently i'm not the only one as its been all over the news. We all see the dinosaur when we go down main street, and it never quite made sense to me why that would be their mascot, but that made the little green statue all the more appealing to me. He survives game days, drunk drivers, high schoolers walking right by him daily, tornado-esque winds, hail, and more... and some jerk decapitates him. He's endangered, jerk.

why would you ever want to cut off an adorable dinosaur's head? i mean... there are so many other things that could be defaced so easily, and make more of some sort of point, but you chose the sinclair dinosaur. Not that i'm for defacing property-not by any means, but if you do, at least have a banksy-esque point to prove and. I mean... decapitating dino is still quite a statement but the statement is more along the lines of "i hate people's happiness" its not like the dinosaur was BP's mascot and you were angry with the company--no--you're just a mean person that probably hates laughter, champagne, and puppies too--aside from adorable brontosaurus statues.
