Migrant Group Kills Dolphin Calf On Ceuta Beach, Sparking Outrage

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


CEUTA, Spain – An incident on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, in Ceuta, Spain, has sparked widespread outrage after a group of migrants removed a dolphin calf from the water and beat it to death on El Trampolín beach, with the violent episode captured on video and verified by local and national media, including El Faro de Ceuta. The group found the calf swimming disoriented near the shore and, taking advantage of the shallow water, pulled it onto the sand, where one individual struck it on the head with a stick.

Although a public cleaning worker from the Ecoservicios service intervened to warn them that they should not handle the animal and that specialists should be called, the calf had already been seriously injured and later died from the impact. Those involved then carried the lifeless body away from the beach toward the breakwater area, treating it as a symbol of victory.

The footage has been widely shared on social media by content creators and internet users, who have condemned the abuse of marine species that enjoy strict legal protection in Spain. Citizens and local groups have demanded that authorities, including the Guardia Civil’s Nature Protection Service, fully identify those responsible for the act of animal cruelty.

The incident has intensified scrutiny of the migrant presence on Ceuta’s beaches, where tensions have been high for weeks, and has added to growing demands for stronger law enforcement and protection of public spaces. The Guardia Civil has opened an investigation, though no arrests have been reported. Animal rights organisations have condemned the killing, calling it a horrific act that should not go unpunished.

The dolphin calf’s death has become a symbol of the broader social breakdown in the autonomous city, where coexistence and public order have been severely strained since the mass migrant entry in July. The footage has been circulating widely on social media, with many calling for the perpetrators to be identified and prosecuted. Local authorities have not yet issued a formal statement on the incident, but the Seprona is expected to lead the investigation. The public has been urged to come forward with any information that could assist in identifying those responsible.

The dolphin calf’s killing has deepened the sense of crisis in Ceuta, where residents and authorities are already grappling with multiple challenges. The incident is being treated as a serious violation of animal protection laws, which carry significant penalties under Spanish legislation. The investigation will focus on identifying the individuals shown in the video and determining the full circumstances of the event.

The outcome is expected to have significant implications for the ongoing debate about law enforcement and public order in the autonomous city. The Guardia Civil has launched an investigation, though no arrests have been reported.

The benefits of allowing tens of thousands of migrants to invade your country...

Since the invasion the Spanish have lucky enough to be blessed by rapes, property destruction, attacks on troops and now wanton animal cruelty being celebrated.

I'll happily share my outrage if you can show a picture or video of Americans murdering a dolphin calf on a beach and parading it around in celebration.

Of course, under US law, even harassing dolphins is illegal, so I' can't wait for you to find evidence of the killing of dolphins being openly celebrated.

Estimates suggest that   over 100,000 dolphins, porpoises, and small whales are killed annually , with some sources indicating the figure could reach   hundreds of thousands   when including unreported bycatch and illegal hunting practices (The Institute for Environment and Research; EWASH; Mongabay) iere.org +3 . The exact number is difficult to determine due to underreporting, remote fishing areas, and carcasses sinking before being counted.

Main Causes of Dolphin Deaths

Bycatch in Fisheries:   Dolphins often become entangled in fishing gear such as gillnets, trawls, purse seines, and longlines. This is the   largest contributor   to global dolphin mortality, causing drowning or severe injuries that lead to death (The Institute for Environment and Research; EWASH) iere.org +2 .
Direct Hunting:   In certain regions, dolphins are deliberately hunted for meat, aquarium trade, or as bait. Notable examples include:

  • Taiji, Japan:   Thousands of dolphins, mainly bottlenose and Risso’s dolphins, are captured or killed annually.
  • Faroe Islands:   Long-finned pilot whales, classified as oceanic dolphins, are driven into bays and slaughtered.
  • Peru:   Dolphins are hunted on a smaller scale, often used as shark bait (The Institute for Environment and Research; EWASH) iere.org +1

It's not like these rightwing conservatives give a fuck about the whales; they just get a raging hard-on anytime they hear about an immigrant committing a crime or doing something the western world frowns on and they have to immediately share it with everyone and say "See? See? I was right to hate immigrants! You're all just too complacent cause these crazy foreigners are coming for ya!!".

The only thing most progressives care about is the identity group  of those involved.  Whether they support or condemn any action is almost entirely dependent on the race/politics/religion  of the actors.

That's only because the conservatives haven't said shit about saving the whales while liberals and Greenpeace have been screaming about it for decades. And it still goes on in LOTS of places around the world, so getting your panties in a bunch about this is clearly reserved only for the dumb fuck xenophobes who are just looking for excuses to hate immigrants. Do I think this is great? Fuck no, it's sad but it's also something the western world is hypocritically squeamish about as we feast on faux gras and veal and overfish, bottom trawl fish and dump contaminants in our oceans decimating entire ocean habitats. Bitching about some migrant group killing a dolphin which they see as a threat to their fishermen but not commenting on the seals shot in many US waters by fisherman doing the exact same thing just shows the blatant double standard and that this is just another seed attempting to justify ignorant xenophobia.

Why not link this story:

Zackery Brandon Barfield, 31, not only shot the bottlenose dolphins but also used poisoned bait after growing frustrated that they were eating from his charter fishing clients, according to prosecutors, who said the crimes happened in 2022 and 2023.

Prosecutors and federal law enforcement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Barfield shot at five dolphins, killing at least one, and used poisoned bait on dozens more during outings from Panama City.

“ He knew the regulations protecting dolphins, yet he killed them anyway — once in front of children, ” federal environmental prosecutor Adam Gustafson said Friday   in a statement .

Florida man who shot and poisoned dolphins sentenced to 1 month

Perhaps because it was some guy named Zack in Florida. Hard to be afraid of Zack, but if his name had been Ugalo Kwimbi I've no doubt we would have seen that story from conservatives immediately. They do love to confirm their biases as stupid bigots do.

Or these stories:

Bodies of Six Gray Seals Shot to Death Found in Cape Cod - ABC News

Help Stop Illegal Shootings of Sea Lions and Seals Near the Copper River Delta | NOAA Fisheries

But no, please do go on about how simply horrible all immigrants must be because some of them killed a dolphin. /s

Try that apples to apples thing for once.

rhaps because it was some guy named Zack in Florida

Zack was not part of group of people celebrating the murder of a dolphin for fun.

When Zack murdered dolphins to help his fishing business he was turned in and  punished for breaking the law.

See if you can figure out the difference.

You forgot the pejorative descriptor, "migrant" or "immigrant"...

It seems there's really no behavior a non-western group can engage in that  a progressive can criticize without violating their religion.

It seems that there's really no unsavory behavior a nonwestern group can engage in anywhere in the world that you won't gaslight progressives over, their religions not withstanding.

Maybe if a group claims Israel has the right to exist or opposes infanticide. That might do it.

Cuesta has been Spanish since 1640and before that it was Portuguese, which is  longer than the   Alaouite dynasty has controlled the land now called Morocco. 

And of course, “Morocco” was Christian before the Muslim invasion, so the Moroccans are themselves colonizers in their own land,

How Ceuta Has Survived

Ceuta’s survival over the centuries can be attributed to a combination of   strategic location, military fortification, political status, and cultural resilience .

Strategic location and trade
Ceuta sits at the narrow Strait of Gibraltar, linking the Mediterranean and Atlantic Oceans. This made it a coveted port for civilizations from the Phoenicians and Carthagians to the Romans, Byzantines, and later Muslim powers  favicon?url=www.turismoceuta.com www.turismoceuta.com . Its position allowed control over maritime trade routes, which sustained its economy and attracted diverse populations.

Military and defensive strength
Throughout its history, Ceuta has been besieged and contested, most notably by Sultan Moulay Ismail between 1694 and 1727  favicon?url=www.turismoceuta.com www.turismoceuta.com . Its walled enclosure, forts, and garrisons protected it from external attacks, ensuring it could withstand prolonged sieges and remain under foreign control when needed.

Flag, misuse of the word colonize; the Moroccans could not colonize what was already theirs.

Why “Colonization” Doesn’t Fit

Unlike European colonial powers, the Moors were   indigenous to North Africa   and did not impose foreign rule over Morocco. Instead, they integrated into existing societies, often as rulers or cultural leaders. Their influence was part of a broader process of   Islamicization   and   Berber-Muslim synthesis   rather than conquest for foreign domination   favicon?url=moorishtimes.com The Moorish Times +1 .

In short:   The Moors were North Africans who helped spread and consolidate Islam in Morocco, but they were not colonizers in the European sense—they were part of the region’s own history and identity.

Lol. "Morocco" was a Christian territory before the the Muslim invasion.  The current ruler claims descent from Mohammed. Do you think Mohammed is from Morocco?

Err no Ceuta is not in Spain..I know you mob love changing geographical names at the moment but you can't shift countries..yet...

Why would you think it is in Spain?? Ceuta is not even on the European continent... it's on the African continent...

It's a Spanish enclave but certainly not on mainland Spain itself..

I know your news service is a bit slow over there but you do realise that nearly all of the illegals went back over the border within 24 hours..

10 of thousands returned to Morocco as they found no food, no water and the locals chased them out..the shops shut and they had no where else to go so went back home..as one said "seemed like a good idea at the time"..

You make it sound like 10s of thousands are still it Ceuta running rampant..hate to disappoint you but it is certainly not the case...as your glorious leader says..."it's fake news"..😁

It is not "in" Spain. It is a small area surrounded by Morocco and the Meditteranean. (Its in the continent of Africa).

That being said, politically it is part of the country of Spain. 

If you are in Marocco and cross into Ceuta you have crossed a country's border.

First off, Krishna was neither responding to me, nor made a comment about me. You, however, made a personal comment about me in response to another member whose comment wasn't neither directed to me nor referenced me.
