A Utah restaurant has caused a stir over the anatomy of a giant bull it uses to advertise the eaterie , . Businessman Stephen Ward applied to Hurricane City council for permission to erect the giant bull above his restaurant named Barista 's and unveiled the beast earlier this month . However , locals have attacked the massive sign and have even started a petition for the council strip restaurant of its business licence . Locals in Utah have complained about the size of a bull 's anatomy , pictured perched above Barista restaurant . More than 500 people have signed a petition for the restaurant to lose its business licence due to the bull . Owner Stephen Ward , pictured , said locals in Hurricane City dislike him and that is why they are complaining . More than 500 people have already signed the petition , which has been created Charge.org . According to the petition : 'As a member of the Hurricane City council has already said , Barista 's has given Hurricane , UT a `` black eye '' . 'It 's owner is a terrible representation of what our community stands for . He takes advantage of every person that walks into his restaurant . 'They intentionally take excessive advantage of those that are visiting our community from other parts of the world . 'They have a horrible reputation that shines a bad light on the rest of Hurricane , UT . We as a community will not stand aside and allow this false representation be made ! ' Local resident Denise Mackelprang told The St George News : 'It looks terrible . I could see the bull , but not the details of the sex . It ’ s R-rated to me , especially with young school kids seeing it and talking about it . ' Fellow resident Lindsay Knapp complained : 'The giant bull is awesome . The giant , weird testicles and penis are not even anatomically correct … that is my issue . ' However , Mr Ward said local residents do not like him and that is the main problem . He said : 'If I put Pinocchio up there , its nose would be too big . It ’ s me . It ’ s me . It ’ s not the bull . It ’ s not the restaurant . They don ’ t like me . But you know what , where does it say in the world , in the Constitution , that they can prevent me having the right to do legal commerce in the United States ? That is my God-given right . ' As well as the petition , some residents have threatened to go to a council meeting to lobby politicians to act against the giant bull .
