Summary
- Migrants allegedly beat a baby dolphin to death on a beach.
- Footage of the incident sparked widespread outrage online.

A distressing incident has emerged from Ceuta, a Spanish North African enclave, where a group of migrants allegedly killed a baby bottlenose dolphin. The calf was reportedly pulled from the sea at El Trampolin beach and beaten, according to local reports and a video shared online.
A blogger captured footage of individuals with the dolphin, confronting them about the act. Despite claims that the animal was already dead, the footage appeared to contradict this, leading to outrage.
Local environmental group DAUBMA has initiated a formal complaint with Spanish authorities. They are calling for a thorough investigation to identify those responsible for the dolphin's death.
The incident has intensified anti-immigrant sentiment in Ceuta, which has been experiencing a significant migrant influx. Residents have previously protested, demanding faster deportations and stricter measures.
The Spanish enclave has faced considerable challenges managing the large number of migrants, leading to issues with overcrowding and sanitation.
