Nicknamed Hvaldimir, the beluga whale, which became a celebrity in Norway, was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds, prompting calls for a criminal investigation.
Regina Crosby Haug, head of One Whale, expressed alarm over Hvaldimir's injuries, stating they were severe enough to suggest a potential criminal act needing police involvement.
Marine Mind's director, Sebastian Strand, noted that while some markings on Hvaldimir's body likely came from marine birds, many injuries remain unexplained.
Animal rights organizations have filed a complaint urging Norwegian police to investigate Hvaldimir's death, which they believe could involve criminal activity.
