2309:(generally) don't object to the use of the word "abortion", they instead object to abortions. In fact, those who push for "abortion" to be called "killing" generally want to push a POV, and I feel the same could apply here. Thus, "kill" can just as easily be used as a non-neutral term, especially in some contexts. "Euthanise" in this case can be more reflective of what actually happened, the intent was to euthanise her, as I discussed. Personally, I think the best course of action for us here on Knowledge (XXG) is to wait a few weeks or months, see if any sources discuss this dispute of wording, and come back to this discussion to establish some firm consensus based on some retrospective analysis by reliable sources. :) 1955:
people disagreed with this assessment, and this is discussed in the article. And of course, most of the sources used in the article (ignoring the oft-sensationalised headlines) use "euthanised" or some other euphemism (eg. "put down"). I don't believe that euthanasia is a euphemism for killing in this particular context. It's made clear in the article that Freya was suffering and that the only option that the Norwegian authorities thought they had to alleviate or end that suffering was to euthanise her. Therefore, I don't think it would be appropriate or helpful for the reader to substitute "euthanised" with "killed". Regardless, have a great day!
2554:). This is the term used for euthanasia of sick pets but also for "put down" in a wider sense, e.g. it's what's done to animals that are healthy but causing a danger to humans. But I think Norwegian vets might be primed to translate "avliving" into English as "euthanasia", and that might be influencing the translation of the official statement and the reporting about Freya. (I have no particular strong feelings about what should go in the infobox but perhaps "shot by the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries" is a factual and neutral description.) 1932:(not a walrus). I strongly believe that "euthanize" is an equally inappropriate word, as euthanasia is what is done to an animal if it is suffering, without hope of recovery, from an illness or injury. What was Freya's illness or injury? The words "euthanize" and "euthanasia" are BS with regard to Freya. I believe that every occurrence of those words in this article should be replaced with the words "kill" and "killing". After all, we don't use euphemisms here on WP. I'd like to know what others think before I make such an edit. 218: 2222:
political opponent who shoots a country's leader dead over political differences is not said to "execute" him, and a firing squad does not "assassinate" a convicted criminal. And so on. And I still see that the justification for using "euthanize" here hasn't truly been established. It continues to be a highly debatable point as to whether killing Freya was warranted, not only among animal lovers, but even among experts. Incidentally,

as being euthanised. Walruses can really fucking move on land if they want to, and no way is anyone getting close enough to an animal that big, with a hide that thick and teeth that large for an injection to be reasonable – you can imagine the chance of it going wrong, and causing further distress to both animal and human, making it an unsuitable choice for putting a Very Large Fighty Animal down.

The Guardian source suggested above led me to realize that she was first spotted on top of a "Walrus–class submarine", while also being the first of her species to enter Dutch waters in 23 years. I smell a hooky hook here! If you suggest an ALT one, I could approve it :D -- 2122:, I think the word should be "kill", as there is no question that they killed the animal, and quite a bit of debate about whether it was warranted. Saying "euthanize" is editorializing, taking the Norwegian authorities' POV (although, having said that, a Norwegian official on the news last night said "kill" rather than "euthanize"). 381: 2908:'s earlier suggestion of waiting for the dust to settle. I'll move to other places for a while, and let this rest. Feel free to react of course, but I'd suggest that we all come back here much later – it is much easier to discuss the assassination of Julius Caesar, after all, since it's not a fresh shock to us all. 2818:
No. Yes? Maybe. Wait, what do you mean by this? The people who did this might reasonably not think it was a good death. They might think it was bad, or they might think that Freya was a stupid old animal that was be fun to slaughter. We don't know. What we know is: This was reported as an euthanasia.

English speaker living in Norway here. Just a quick note on a translation issue that might be adding to the confusion: in Norway the word nearly universally used in the media (and in the Directorate of Fisheries' official statement) for what happened to Freya is "avlive", literally "to de-life" (also

That's the thing, we don't know. I remember reading "humane", and I certainly believe they weren't trying to be cruel.

Regarding a source for this debate for "euthanise" vs. "killed", this I think reflects what the real debate is. People are not objecting to the use of the word "euthanised" in reference to Freya, instead they object to the the descision to euthanise her. Paralleling the Abortion debate again, people

And I'd really like at least one source that actively questions the usage of "euthanasia" (it may be that some of the critics have said that, but
2117:
I would just like to point out that the suggestion for using the word "kill" is not "editorializing". "Kill" is, in fact, the most basic, neutral term for ending a living thing's life, whereas "euthanize" is –let's face it – nothing but a euphemism for "kill" here, as the grounds for using that word
3123:
Yes, the explanatory note is lacking an explanation. Feel free to amend that if you have time Andrew. Ideally, we should give both the official Norwegian source and the English media thingy. It might likely not have been euthanasia, but we need something to explain why so many reliable sources used

2750:
Could there potentially be a compromise here? "Killed", "Shot" and "Euthanised" are all arguably accurate terms in this context. Perhaps something along the lines of "Freya was killed via euthanasia by gunshot". A little wordy, but I feel that way of saying things ensures no-one misunderstands what

I've added in a "wild" to hopefully make it clearer that she was not a zoo animal. However, I feel that we should keep the information on Stena minimal in this article, as it is about Feya explicitly and not the "wandering walruses" (not an official, just my term) in general. If you want, you could

I think we should stick with the euthanasia wording, for a couple reasons. I'll start with one that hasn't seemingly been explored yet, namely that as far as I can tell, the Norwegian authorities intent was to euthanise Freya, as in they wished to stop suffering that she would (as far as they were

This is a valid question, but it is not our job to determine whether the examination by a veterinarian was done appropriately. None of the organizations criticizing the death, either, knew anything about the health situation of Freya (with the sole exception of Rune Aae maybe, who actually seem to

This actually results in x5 killed vs x4 euthanised (although we could discuss whether "Life in Norway" counts as a very reliable source). I was personally leaning on "euthanised" being the appropriate term (since they did consult vets and stuff), but just from the sources we might well have both.
2723:), and we have at least half a dozen reliable sources that use it in the context of Freya's death.

A good compromise, I agree it can stay this way. "Shot" is actually more precise than killed, but still neutral. And since shooting is a possible way of delivering euthanasia, we are now leaving it to the reader to decide on whether or not they want to see this as an act of euthanasia, or an

Thankyou Andrew for these sources, it certainly clarifies a lot of questions I and others had. I would now not object to the lede stating "shot" or "killed", although I still think it is important to mention in the article that the procedure was "euthanasia", at least as far as the Norwegian

The word "killed" tells us what happened. The word "shot" tells us how it was done. The word "euthanized" puts a value on it by telling us that it was a "good death". But that's the POV of the people who did the killing. Lots of other people think that this was quite bad and so
