Destroying or damaging the statues is a form of vandalism. It is mostly due to hatred and hence defacing a statue would probably give some kind of crooked satisfaction to vandals.

The noses on old statues are often destroyed because they are delicate and protrude from the face, making them vulnerable to damage from natural wear and tear, theft, or vandalism over time. Additionally, the nose is a commonly targeted area for deliberate destruction due to its prominence in the overall appearance of the statue.
