Amherstburg resident Judy Carney filed a complaint with the town about the sculpture, but said she was told there’s nothing officials can do.

Without a bylaw restricting certain types of art on private properties, the town's hands are tied.

Mayor Michael Prue said the town plans to reach out to other municipalities to determine whether a solution exists elsewhere.
