A WHALE suspected of being a spy for Vladimir Putin before it “defected” from Russia may have been shot dead, animal rights activists claim.

The infamous white beluga Hvaldmir was found dead this weekend after unsuspecting fisherman saw his carcass floating off the coast of Norway.

Suspicious animal rights groups are now looking into if the 14ft whale was actually a victim of foul play and “senselessly murdered”.

Concerned organisations, OneWhale and NOAH (National Office of Animal Health), say they believe all signs point towards the animal being gunned down.

A police report, both groups claim to have seen, reportedly says Hvaldmir suffered “intentional human-inflicted injury”.

They also say bullet wounds were found on the 1,200kg whale’s corpse.

Putin’s infamous spy whale Hvaldimir was found SHOT DEAD after ‘defecting’ from Russia, animal rights groups claim | The Sun

Very, very sad world when such a magnificent animal is accused of ‘defecting’ and then being hunted down and murdered by humans because of this farce. Does a whale ‘defect’ ? – no, it has more intelligence than that. It simply wants to live its life as a marine animal, enjoying the norms that hopefully would come with it; not being accused of being a a traitor in some East / West ‘sided’ ‘human’ trained spy machine that in the end is terminated because of what the humans think. I find this such a pathetically sad story which shows how some of the human species regard those in the animal kingdom. Sad that the Putins, Netinyahu’s, and Trump do not consider the wonders that exist outside of their pathetic little (and I mean little) power grab personal races to maintain being at the ‘top’ (top of what ?). Pathetic, and a danger to normal compassionate people, all of them.
