In deeply depressing but unsurprising news, Norwegian officials have euthanized famous walrus Freya due to concerns over public safety. Despite warnings from government officials, people continued to visit the walrus, who was then deemed a threat to public safety. “We have great regard for animal welfare, but human life and safety must take precedence.”But the culprit, as always, is humanity itself. https://t.co/6QUTgRm60i — Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) August 14, 2022Killing Freya the walrus because "people were getting too close to her" is peak human entitlement. MURDERED today by the Directorate of Fisheries in #Norway because she was perceived as a "continued threat to human safety".
