'Racially insensitive' gorilla statue removed from Texas park

A beloved gorilla statue in a Texas park has been removed by officials after some complained that it was 'racially insensitive'.

The caged statue had been a center piece at the park in Corsicana, south of Dallas, for two decades before it was taken away on Monday.

Corsicana Mayor Don Denbow had the 500-pound gorilla removed after receiving about 45 complaints.
