What Should I Think About This Statue in The UN?

If one isn't aware of this new update, we'll explain it briefly. The UN(United Nations) recently placed up a strange statue that had been donated by the Governing body of Oaxaca, Mexico. UN wrote this after its installation, "A guardian for international peace and security sits on the Visitor's Plaza outside #UN Headquarters. The guardian is a fusion of jaguar and eagle and donated by the Government of Oaxaca, Mexico." (United Nations Photo (@UN_Photo). 

So, why should one care? Well, many theologians have compared it to the beast mentioned in Revelations 13 and Daniel 7. "And I stood upon the sand of the sea..And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed..."(Revelations 13:1-4). "...I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it." (Daniel 7:1-4).

When looking at the description and the statue, there does seem to be a sort of connection, but honestly, it seems strange to penalize it for a few reasons. First of all, the creature mentioned is vague and the only real thing mentioned is a sort of large cat with eagle wings. Honestly, this sort of depiction is very common, an angel was even mentioned in the Bible with a similar depiction. Secondly, this depiction of a large feline with wings isn't new,  Cats with wings, in the context of stories to statues have existed of hundreds of years, so it seems strange to specifically jump on this statue. After backlash, the UN eventually took down the statue so if you are worried, that should at least settle the mind.
