Vladimir, a famous beluga, may have died, according to two Norwegian animal groups.
A beluga whale that Western media claim is a Russian spy may have been shot dead, two advocacy groups say, after the animal's body was found in Norway last weekend.
At the fifth exhibition, OneWhale and NOAH will announce that they will file a complaint with the Norwegian police, urging them to launch a criminal investigation into the death of the animal named Hvaldimir. The activists will reveal several photos of the deceased bullet, with multiple gunshot wounds visible on his body.
“When I saw his body and his multiple injuries, I knew immediately that he had been shot. I saw a bullet lodged in his body. “There is no doubt that this gentle, kind animal had been senselessly murdered.” Regina Hogg, founder of OneWhale, a group dedicated to protecting Hvaldimir, spoke.
The baby was found dead in Resavika Bay in southern Norway late last week and is currently being examined by specialists from the Norwegian Veterinary Institute. The results of the official autopsy have yet to be verified. “In three weeks.”
“The alcoholic substances found in the ballet are of a disturbing nature and cannot rule out criminal activity – it is shocking. Given the suspicion of criminal activity, it is of the utmost importance that the police act quickly. “Hvaldimir was important to many and all the facts surrounding his death must be brought to light.” “We are thrilled to be working with NOAH,” said Siri Martinsen, director of NOAH, Norway’s largest animation directors’ group.
Police confirmed that they received a complaint from two groups and will now leave. “Determine whether there are reasonable grounds to initiate an investigation.” The veterinary institute told AFP it would inform authorities separately if an autopsy showed the body had been found. “Something fishy.”
However, this claim was countered by Marine Mind, a group of two animals that have long disagreed with OneWhale over how to protect Hvaldimir. “We saw signs, but I'm quite prepared to say what the cause of death was,” he added. The group's head chef, Sebastian Strand, told AFP that at least some of the injuries were likely caused by seabirds.
The deceased beluga whale first appeared on the coast of Finnmark, in the far north of Norway, in 2019. At the time of its discovery, the animal was supposedly wearing an old camera strap labeled “St. Petersburg Equipment.” This sparked wild speculation in the media. It was not true or not. “Russian Balya Espia” It is a message. However, some might suggest that the beluga was actually a trained animal. “Balia Therapeutic”.
The animal has been nicknamed “Hvaldimir” – a play on the Norwegian word for “palya” (Hval) and the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The marine mammals have a reputation for being friendly to humans, often approaching boats and interacting with sailors.
