Life-Sized sculpture of euthanized walrus unveiled in Norway. Helsinki, a walrus that became a global celebrity last year, after it was seen frallicking and basking in an ozl fjord, before it was euthanized by the authorities has been honored with a bronze sculpture in Norway. The life-size sculpture by Norwegian artist Astrid Tenoen was unveiled Saturday at the ozl marina not far from the place where the actual 600 kilogram, 1,300 pound, mammal was seen resting and relaxing during the summer of 2022. The walrus, named Freya, quickly become a popular attraction among ozl residents, but Norwegian authorities later made a decision to euthanize it, causing public outrage, because they said people hadn't followed recommendations to keep a safe distance away from the massive animal. Norwegian news agency NTB said a crowdfunding campaign was kicked off last fall to finance the sculpture. The private initiative managed to gather about 270,000 Norwegian crooner, $25,000, by October, NTB said.
