A private fundraising campaign is underway in Norway to erect a statue of a walrus that drew crowds of spectators but was euthanized Sunday after authorities concluded the massive marine mammal posed a risk to humans.

Known affectionately to fans as Freya, the walrus became a popular attraction in the Oslo Fjord in recent weeks despite warnings from officials that people should refrain from getting close and posing for pictures with the animal.

"By erecting a statue of the symbol Freya quickly became, we will always remind ourselves that we cannot or should not always kill and remove nature when it is `in the way,"' the appeal continues.

Call me when they want to euthanize an erect walrus

Norwegians never feared marine life. What changed?

We killed it because it was in our best interest, but we will built a monument to it. Evolution 🤦‍♂️

The walrus was Paul.

So very sad.

After they killed this walrus...please don't waste our time on croc tears. I personally have every confidence Mama Nature will get all her revenge for what we have done to her creatures. 😂😂😂That'll be better than any dumb statue.

Why. They killed it.

Norway puts down Freya the walrus that drew Oslo crowdsAuthorities in Norway have euthanized a walrus that had drawn crowds of spectators in the Oslo Fjord. Norwegian authorities killed Freya the lovely Walrus, because she made the mistake of visiting the richest neighborhood in Norway, getting on to a boat or two. Within a week she was killed. All other countries she visited, efforts were made to protect her. Just not rich Norway. This is a travesty. Should never have happened. Freya was sacrificed for human indifference. You didn’t try to find a better outcome. Shame on you Norway. Disgraceful 😤
