  1. They gonna shoot the statue too ?

  2. You really gotta hand it to Scandinavians: They can go from zero to bumming everyone out in 3 seconds flat. They even manage to make crepes depressing by putting rotten fish in them.
    That's next-level buzzkill.

  3. Would have been better to relocate the walrus.

  4. Sad to watch the people of Norway reach to such barbaric treatment of animals.

  5. They killed her and now statue ๐Ÿ˜‚

  6. I love Norwegians. Here in America, we would have plugged Freya, sold her carcass for dog food then erected a theme park with her likeness.

  7. This is straight up from Parks and Rec ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Full on 1,000 candles in the wind

  8. Was supposed to look like poop?

  9. Humans always treat minor inconveniences with death and violence.

  10. Thats probably how she looked when they killed her

  11. Itโ€™s sad to see stories like this remind us that our egos are causing this sort of senseless violence in the world. Killing Freya because she was a โ€œpublic safety concern.โ€ When we realize our actions (karma) have been caused by these problems, then we must be the ones to take action and heal and help others learn from our ancestral egotistical (repeated) mistakes as lessons to grow from our past so that we no longer have tension rather be the reinvention of our future offspring. I know Freya served her purpose to remember her and our idiotic mistakes. Thank you for your service ๐Ÿ™โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿชฆ๐Ÿฆญ

  12. Pray for a tsunami to tarea care of the pier

  13. HOW DARE YOU CALL THAT MURDER A EUTHANIZATION. FREYA WAS MURDERED, BECAUSE TOURISTS DID NOT LIKE HER. THE PERSON WHO DECIDED TO DO IT DESERVES THE SAME!!!

  14. I still believe the person who gave to order to MURDER her, deserves what she got.

  15. couldn't watch this when I read that he was euthanized because of people complaining about him. We are th intruders of his environment….not the other way around. shame on us.
