Viral footage out of the invaded Spanish enclave of Ceuta shows a bottlenose dolphin calf came in close to the sand at Playa del Trampolín in Ceuta this week, disoriented and still alive. A group of men who entered illegally in the July surge pulled it from the water, hoisted it like a prize, and - according to local reporting, a conservation complaint, and Telecinco - one of them bludgeoned it in the head with a stick.
An Ecoservicios worker in high-vis tried to stop the handling. Voices on the clip can be heard shouting "No! No! You can't eat it! It's a dolphin!" The animal was killed. Some of the men then moved off toward the breakwater with the body.
The conservation group DAUBMA took photographs, clips and social-media stills to the Guardia Civil and asked for animal-cruelty and protected-fauna charges. Alvise Pérez's Se Acabó la Fiesta filed at Ceuta's court on the same facts. A petition by Nadia García Gómez put it in writing: the calf was "brutally pulled from the water... handled as if it were an object and violently struck on the head."
