COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A private fundraising campaign is underway in Norway to erect a statue of a walrus that drew crowds of spectators but was euthanized…
Known affectionately to fans as Freya, the walrus became a popular attraction in the Oslo Fjord in recent weeks despite warnings from officials that people should refrain from getting close and posing for pictures with the animal.
“By erecting a statue of the symbol Freya quickly became, we will always remind ourselves that we cannot or should not always kill and remove nature when it is ‘in the way,”‘ the appeal continues.
