Do Protestants have a biblical basis for not smashing statues of Jesus?

Lately, I've been checking out "Mary Worship" videos and "Praying to Saints" videos online from Protestants who protest the Catholic practice of statues of Christ and Mary. Pastors or lay Protestants oftentimes smash statues of the Mother of God to make a point. Why do I never see them, even the most aggressive anti-Catholic, anti-Statuary Christian videos, smashing an image of our Lord? As a Catholic, I can say if my Mary statue had a chip in it or gets old, I might just throw in the bin, maybe even break it so it fits better. I'd do the same thing with an image of the Lord, a Bible that gets old and worn, whatever. As a Catholic, I know these things are nothing. In anti-Catholic circles, is smashing a statue of the Lord Jesus Christ just something they will not do? Is there a biblical reason for not doing so?
