ONLINE OUTCRY: The profile on the fake account @SaveDippy read simply:

LONDON: Plans to move “Dippy” the dinosaur from his home in London’s Natural History Museum made national news on Jan 29, triggering an outcry from fans, an online petition and even a fake Twitter account. 

Longer than two London buses, the cast of fossilised diplodocus bones will be moved from the entrance hall in 2017 after more than 30 years and replaced by a blue whale suspended from the roof.
