Euthanized? She was murdered for the crime of being an animal in her natural habitat
That's horrible!! You could've put her at a zoo or something!!!
Those idiots should have been euthanized for the Walrus’s safety 😢😢😢
They should've kept the people away mot killed her m euthanized what a joke. Disgusting
That's horrifying. They don't have the best track record with wildlife for sure . Absolutely criminal
So sad 😢
So this magnificent creature was put to death because stupid humans wouldn't leave her alone??? That's outrageous!!!
Couldn't she be moved? Killing her because she was intruded upon? Completely unfair!!
That's so messed up because she obviously loved the people
So yt mob got her killed sounds familiar in history
She was so beautiful 😔
People shouldn't save other people from the consequences of bad decisions.
This is a prime example of why animals are at most times better than people…
What? And WTF Norway? You killed the animal? Pathetic! You didn’t have the technical know-how to relocate her/him? Pathetic and unbelievable!
Why do they capture it? What a heartless act
Walruses were killed because humans crossed the line with temporary emotions Walruses are the primary victims
The person/s responsible for this euthanasia should be fired immediately.
Using the word "euthanize" to describe what happened is misleading. The term implies that the killing of a healthy, young wild animal was an act of mercy rather than a decision based on human finances and convenience.

Im Norwegian and can confirm that norwegian got a huge lack of respect for nature and people too
appalling 💔
This breaks my heart poor thing was just being friendly And to think that how many times this sweet animal has doge the bullet with bigger prayer just to be but down by the worsted kind humans 🙏 😢
💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rip humans are so stupid and cruel
She’s trying to tell us something
Dudes, buy a boat for 20 000+ euros and let it be destroyed by a 1 ton animal that the marine authorities allowed to play freely at the docks. I bet you'll be very unhappy.
Are these the same people that killed thier zoo giraffe and fed it to the Lion?
Rest In Peace smh
This is what happens when man invades the territory of an animal the animal did not build the dock or put none of them bolts on the water that she swam in, y'all came to her area and she let you know she didn't like it by sinking boats!!!
Tempted to advocate for putting people down because they are a “continued threat to walrus safety.”
The world is watching you Norway and the world hates what you have done!
What? I hate Norway.
You know what is sad the fact that she was there because of global warming
Ppl invade territories and wildlife suffers. There are no words for these atrocities. Just the silence that death brings.😢
I am disgusted by Norway's actions, being a rich country and educated they acted like a third-world country, this beautiful animal could have been sent to a sanctuary or a zoo, she obviously loved people and people loved her, killing her is the most disgusting thing Norway could do maybe the Russians should march in and euthanized the government officials who did this. The Norwegian serial killer Anders Behring Breivik got better treatment than this walrus.
What kind of threat of humankind did she pose? Why don't you tell truth: boat owners lobbyed for her euthanasia! Infamous!
My friend wants to be as fat as this walrus. He needs help. He weighs 100kg
Poor baby…😭💜
