Sad news: Freya the walrus Freya the walrus

I read an opinion piece in my local (Norwegian) newspaper today that Freya had visited Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark before and everywhere people kept enough distance that it wasn’t a problem. Only the Norwegians wouldn’t do it despite repeated urging. (Actually, the newspaper specifically referenced the snooty Eastern Norwegians, but that’s a different story).

Not being Norwegian myself, I don’t want to judge the accuracy of this self criticism but it is sad that a country known for its financial prowess couldn’t just pay its way out of this by either hiring security guards to keep people away or just relocating the beastie.

I secretly think they were just tired of rich people’s boats being destroyed in a way that no insurance pays for.

Walruses were; but not by me.
