Norwegian who can't hold the onlookers who watch the marine elephant, they kill the marchica that has been watched

Swimming in the sea, eating seafood diving, lying in a boat to bask in the sun ... Freya originally lived a summer life that made many people envy.

But this holiday suddenly ended in an unexpected way. On August 14, Freya was euthanized by the Norwegian Fisheries Bureau.

Freya is a young female maritime. In a fjord in southern Oslo, the Norwegian capital, it has become a star animal this summer, which has attracted many people to stop and watch.

Unfortunately, there are always many people who do not listen to the advice close to the sea elephant. The local fishery department believes that marchicades may threaten people's safety, and finally euthed and died of Hua Leiya.

From being popular overnight to being euthanized

On June 11, a marchiva came to a coastal village in southern Norway, because he was lying on the boat and refused to leave, and shocked the local fire department. Although people worked hard to drive it down, the marine elephant quickly swim back and climbed back on the boat. The firefighters on duty at the time said: "Marine seems to be sleeping on the boat, so we are a little confused, and I don't know what to do."

"This is Freya. It has stayed in this area for a long time." Rune Aae, a biologist Rune Aae, who has been tracking the trend of Wuliea, who has been tracking.

In the past two years, Freya has lived in many European countries such as Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands. In March of this year, it departed from Denmark, arrived in Sweden, and came to water near Norway in recent months. Last month, Huaya appeared in Oslo, which caused a greater sensation. It often appeared on the local news headlines, and even some media conducted live broadcasts throughout the day.

Waters are usually living in waters with ice and snow. The favorite food is clams. It also eats snails, shrimp crabs, octopus, squid, and fish. After they are preferential, they will climb on ice to rest, digest food, and then drift to the next place with ice floating. The reason why Freya likes to climb on the boat may be the ice floating of human ships. However, the walrus was too heavy, and several ships were sinking because of overwhelming. It is estimated that the Huaya is nearly 600 kilograms.

Some ship owners said that they had contacted the insurance company, but the insurance company may not compensate the losses caused by the walrus. The owners of the boat are very worried, but netizens love to watch the sea elephant climbing and leisurely sunbathing. Related videos and photos always have a lot of viewing and likes.

Although the local fishery department has repeatedly warned people not to approach and do not disturb the marinats, from the online video and photos, the vessels where the walrus is located is often full of audiences, and even some people take the water motorboat to try to watch closely in the past to watch the close distance. walrus.

Waters can sleep 20 hours a day. Although it looks very pleasant, marine elements are very sensitive to people and ships and are easily frightened. Marine generally does not actively attack humans, but if it feels threatened, it is another matter. What's more, the noisy environment may have affected its rest and make it nervous.

"Obviously, through the on -site observation in the past week, it is clear that the public has not followed the proposal to maintain a safe distance with the walrus." Veterinary doctors also believe that a large number of human attention has brought obvious pressure on the walrus. As a result, the local fishery department believes that the auspiciousness of the auspiciousness of the Marito "has great possibilities to hurt humans", and in this case, it cannot guarantee its animal benefits.

Some people have suggested to transfer marchia, but experts from the fishery department and the Norwegian Marine Institute rejected this option after discussing. The reason is that the entire action will be too complicated and feasible. At the same time, some animal welfare problems may occur during the transfer process.

The decision of euthanasia to the euthanasia aroused a lot of controversy. But the person in charge said: "I firmly believe that this is a correct decision. We attach great importance to animal welfare, but human life and security must be given priority."

Controversial actions

"It's not necessary at all!"

Ruine O'er, who has been paying attention to the biologist who has been paying attention to the Maruine Freya, was very sad when he learned the news and thought that the decision to be executed by the Wood Element Freya was too hasty.

"Where is Freya?" It was originally the theme of Norwegian this summer. Lane had previously established an online group that tracks the trend of Freya sea elephant. The public and netizens can release Freya's position dynamics in real time. In addition, the local fishery department also has ships to follow the sea elephant, which can notify the location of the market at any time. Everyone can know where Freya is, as long as they are willing to avoid it.

The Oslo Fjord will be raining in two days, people will reduce going out, and the summer will end soon. The number of people around the shore will be significantly reduced. In addition, Huaya Raya is likely to leave by himself. "Freya will leave the Oslo Fjord sooner or later, just like the past, so in my opinion, euthanasia is completely unnecessary." Lubine wrote.

In 2021, Freya also took the Dutch submarine | @Kon_Marine/Twitter Twitter#20 20 #Walrusfreya, many people agreed with Lubine's opinions.

Someone sighed: "We are all happy to see the marinat! What a miserable ending. Ignorance always defeats nature."

Some people question: "Out of the consideration of the well -being of the marine animals, it cannot be migrated, so it kills the walrus? I wonder if it would be grateful for their concern?"

Someone was angry: "Marine is in its natural environment, what you should do is to drive away those entangled people."

"Obviously, because the public cannot keep the distance, the walrus must be killed. I hope that the public will be ashamed of himself."

"Everyone who tries to approach Freya, everyone who makes it close to humans, and everyone who tries to take selfies near it should be condemned! Far away from wild animals!"

Some people quoted a sentence from David Attenborough, a natural documentary shooter: "I think sometimes we should take a step back, remember that we humans are not more right to live here than other animals."

Others said, "This is like the Harlanbe incident!" Harambe was a rare western low gorilla, which originally lived in the Cincinnati Zoo in the United States. On May 28, 2016, a 3 -year -old boy climbed the fence and entered the exhibition area where Harlanbe was located. In order to protect the little boy, the zoo had to kill Harlanbe. Afterwards, many people accused the boy's parents that their negligence caused the death of Harlanbe.

Due to human faults, wild animals have to die. This is the case of Harlanbe, and so is Freya.

In the past three hundred years, the number of walrus was hunt by humans because of sea elephant, whale fat, and meat, and the number decreased sharply.

By 1952, the marine is almost extinct in Svalbard. The Swarba Islands is the northernmost Arctic Islands in Norway, more than 1900 kilometers from Oslo. So the Norwegian government ordered a ban on commercial killing. In the early 1980s, the researchers observed about 100 walrus observed on the island. Thanks to various protection measures, the number of maritime has slowly recovered.

However, the Marhiva is still a critical species now. A statistics in 2018 found that the Swarba Islands lived in about 5500 marine. According to the World Nature Foundation data, there are about 225,000 wild walrus around the world.

Although the number has returned, the survival of the walrus is still threatened. As climate changes, the ice that is used to rest and raise cubs is increasing, and the summer sea ice is reduced by 13%almost every ten years. Many walrus is forced to inhabit on the land and trample or falling cliff due to excessive crowded.

It is speculated that Huaya is from the Swarba Islands. Marine usually lives in groups. Generally, in the form of groups, they gather together on ice floating or land to rest. When relaxing, they like to stick to each other. The phenomenon of living alone, living alone, is relatively rare.

Far away from the natural habitat, the predation habits of maritime will change. In addition, they will also be more frequent to noisy human activities such as sea transportation, fishery, tourism, and industry, and are more susceptible to frightening.

"I guess it wants to return to its companion." Lane said in an interview before.

When the local department of the Oslo fjord decided to bandhia, it was resting on a "ice -floating" that it thought it was safe.

The hometown with sea ice, clams and companions, it has never been able to go back.
