You can add the Netherlands to the countries managing the walrus's visit in an animal-friendly manner, with access restrictions in place to ensure it could rest.Truly an appalling action by Norwegian authorities. UK, France and Spain all managed to coexist with the visiting Walrus, but the 'advanced' nation of Norway could not see fit to celebrate the arrival of this animal, or at least tolerate it until it departed.
Given this Walrus was apparently popular, why weren't the Norwegian public up in arms when the authorities announcing they would kill it?
Shame on Norway, shame on the public for allowing it to happen. Absolutely no excuse, police the folk getting too close if deemed necessary.
As the animal was obviously popular with the Norwegians, I assume there will be anger there.
Appalling decision making by the Norwegian authorities.
