Is it time for the Duke of Sutherland’s statue to come down now too?

Now that Edward Colston’s statue has toppled, should the Duke of Sutherland’s be next?

Omg Sutherland's statue should definitely come down!!
What a nasty piece of work.

I'd prefer an explanation of what he did beside the statue to help educate people.
The history will still have happened with or without the statue.
( some of my family were impacted and moved to the USA if that is relevant)

I believe in Canada they are moving away from the idea of naming streets after people, ditto presumably statues. Perhaps it is no longer appropriate for our times. I like the idea of monuments or art about concepts, such as equality, democracy, dignity, justice, peace, health and so on.
