July 20, 2022 at 15:38 Directorate of Fisheries: Killing Freya is not an option – Keep your distance from the walrus! It writes the Directorate of Fisheries in a press release where they encourage people in the area to leave Freya alone. Furthermore, the directorate writes that Freya is a wild animal that is not necessarily “as sluggish and clumsy as one might get the impression”. The Directorate of Fisheries emphasizes that the walrus is a protected species and that it is forbidden to disturb it unnecessarily. – At the same time, it is the case that the walrus in question can be an obstacle to ordinary traffic when it lays on floating jetties and on board small boats. The Directorate of Fisheries has considered various alternatives that can lead to less contact between the walrus and humans, the directorate writes. The Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries writes that killing is not an option. – Neither the Directorate of Fisheries nor researchers we have contact with recommend killing. It is therefore currently not relevant, and other alternatives are being considered.
