The statue stood about eight to nine feet tall on a pedestal near the intersection of 4th Avenue and Clark Drive for several hours Tuesday appeared to have a full erection, thereby raising eye brows.
The statue was taken down by city officials yesterday after it was discovered.
According to the City of Vancouver's public art registry, the small square was originally home to a statue of Christopher Columbus, but that has since been moved to Hastings Park.
Ironically the statue which was removed to protect public interest is now been petitioned to be restored by same public.
Hundreds of people are demanding that the sexually explicit Satan statue stealthily installed be resurrected.
At least three Change.org petitions have sprung up since calling for its return.
Two petitions, which have collected more than 450 signatures combined, want the statue to be public art.
“By removing the statue of Penis Satan, you are taking from us our freedom of expression, restricting our sexuality, and stigmatizing our religious beliefs. Please return him immediately,” one petition reads.
