Animal rights groups on Wednesday said gunfire killed a beluga whale that rose to fame in Norway after its unusual harness sparked suspicions the creature was trained by Russia as a spy.

The organizations NOAH and One Whale said they had filed a complaint with Norwegian police asking them to open a "criminal investigation."

"He had multiple bullet wounds around his body," the head of One Whale, Regina Crosby Haug who said she viewed Hvaldimir's body on Monday, told AFP.

"The injuries on the whale are alarming and of a nature that cannot rule out a criminal act -- it is shocking," NOAH director Siri Martinsen said in a statement.

Actually, I think the people complaining should be looked at.

They aren’t above killing a whale or two to get their way.

Paul Beluga was a Russian spy?

What’s that you say?

It is Paul Begala not Paul Beluga.

Okay, is Paul Begala a Russian spy?

A dolphin would have been captured and used as a double agent against the Russians.

They call him Flipper.

Why would a whale be wearing a harness? What made the harness unusual besides being on a whale?

Beluga whale racing is big in Russia.

How do you train a whale? Very carefully?

THANKS! Great article, BL, and a timely post Cletus.D.Yokel.

I was just trying to post the story “elsewhere”, myself.

I kinda think it could be true.

I still need help letting it sink in... that Garland the Goon would actually be able to set up Russia for an influence peddling wrap, with real facts, for once? A real FIRST for the toppling JD, who set up all opposition everywhere, first.

As for the hyper-manic Benny Johnson, who is obsessed with that horizontal hand in a “V” thing, a victory hand-signal in the opening of every program.. how could Benny be one-of-four “smart guys” and NOT suspect something at $100,000.00 per video, out of only four (4) videos?🤔

One, of which used a Tucker Carlson interview. Good grief, an easy gig for an exorbitant amount of money. Wonder if Tucker even got a creater’s cut?
***

The 17th letter had a lot of good counsel. I guess that is why we could get cranky about sources. Until this is over, we won’t know for certain, yet, if who we are trusting will prove trustworthy.

The bottom line, according to The Hill newser, about this particular scandal is it makes people who support Israel, or who support the idea that Russia was pushed by NATO for 20 years before stopping UKR encroachments look either suspect, or naive.

No matter the side, it does divide.

Everyone’s called a paid troll now, or a Russian asset, or worse, regardless of one’s opinion.
