Animal rights groups on Wednesday said gunfire killed a beluga whale that rose to fame in Norway after its unusual harness sparked suspicions the creature was trained by Russia as a spy.
The organizations NOAH and One Whale said they had filed a complaint with Norwegian police asking them to open a “criminal investigation.”
Nicknamed “Hvaldimir” in a pun on the Norwegian word for whale, hval, and its purported ties to Moscow, the white beluga first appeared off the coast in Norway’s far-northern Finnmark region in 2019.
Ugh, that’s terrible. Poor thing. People are so cruel
So either executed by Russia because… the whale didn’t like Putin…
or
Executed by the USA because… the CIA doesn’t take any chances…
If it was America it would have been captured, killed, and dissected.
If it was Russia the whale would have fallen out a window
Pretty hard to defenistrate a whale
Don’t give them ideas.
Oh no, not again.
There are, unfortunately, people we could live without in this planet.
Most of us, actually.
That poor beautiful creature.
So no word on what it was strapped to the poor thing?
Ok, that is awful, but part of me can’t help thinking “he knew too much”.
It least it wasn’t tortured before it was killed. Yall enjoying your burgers?
Poor thing spent it’s whole life working for humans, then abandoned by them, then murdered by them…
