It shouldn't have be destroyed, but lets be very very honest, it as statues go was visually an eyesore... Sometimes these statues are not harmonious or even worth looking at, this was one of them, it was a a trite literal piece and naive brut-avant, very jagged and discordant lines to put it bluntly, liked the wings as a positive agains negative space but even that was poorly developed, in the end it visually looks like a prop in the Game of Thrones TV series.. maybe he had a critical artistic eye and felt too strongly about it🤷🏿♂️...
