Around the world - through social media - expressions of outrage over the death of the walrus Freya are seen. The animal, which had been an attraction in the Oslo fjord since July, was euthanized by Norwegian authorities this past Sunday (14).
“The decision to cull it was made based on a global assessment of the threat it posed to human security,” Frank Bakke-Jensen, head of the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries, said in a statement.
The Norwegian government announced this Sunday (14) that it had decided to sacrifice the walrus known as Freya, which had been an attraction since July in the Oslo fjord – where it spent its time sunbathing on boats.

Belonging to the same family as seals, the walrus is a mammal found in the icy seas of the Arctic, Europe, Asia and North America. However, there is a certain difference, as the walrus has larger upper teeth on the outside of the mouth, that is, the tusks.
