The animal was a popular attraction, but euthanised in August out of public safety concerns.
Norway's capital Oslo has unveiled a statue of a walrus who was a popular attraction but was then put down because of public safety concerns."This is how humans treat wild nature, but it is also how humans treat humans. This is how we treated Freya. And so, I will call the statue For Our Sins," creator Astri Tonoian said.
On one occasion, police blocked off a bathing area after the walrus chased a woman into the water, local media reported at the time. Norway's fisheries ministry also issued a photograph of a large group of people, including children, standing within touching distance of the animal.
The operation to euthanise her had been carried out "in a humane fashion", with the body taken for further examination by vets, he said.A protected species, walruses normally live further north in the Arctic.At a wildlife park in China in 2016, a tourist and a zookeeper were killed by a walrus. The tourist had reportedly been taking selfies with the creature when he was grabbed and pulled underwater, while the keeper went in to rescue him but was also pulled under.
