A group of migrants in the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta is accused of pulling a baby bottlenose dolphin from the sea and beating it to death. [^1]

In early September 2026, a viral video showed men in Ceuta pulling a dolphin calf from the beach at Playa del Trampolín and allegedly bludgeoning it to death, according to the local reporting and a conservationist complaint. [^2]

Local environmental group DAUBMA has filed a complaint with Spanish law enforcement, demanding the authorities investigate the incident and identify those involved. [^3]

One of the men allegedly struck the animal in the head with a stick, leaving it mortally wounded. [^4]

The incident occurred at El Trampolin beach on Wednesday, where the dolphin was spotted swimming close to the shore before several men dragged it from the water. [^5]

Ceuta's chief prosecutor, Silvia Rojas, said to Spanish media that 23 sexual assaults have been recorded since late July 2026, including nine against children. [^6]

DAUBMA, a Spanish conservation group, presented photographs and video of the dolphin incident to the guard detachment and requested formal charges for animal cruelty against the protected species. [^7]

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez went to Congress and declared 'absurd' the idea that the government knew and did nothing, announcing that returns happened 'within 72 hours' and that a €309 million emergency package was underway. [^8]
