Nadia Garcia Gomez Launches Petition to Prosecute Migrants for Allegedly Killing a Dolphin in Ceuta

Nadia Garcia Gomez launched a petition to identify and punish the individuals responsible for the death of a young dolphin in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The incident occurred at Trampolín beach, where a group of illegal immigrants allegedly pulled a disoriented dolphin calf from the water and struck it on the head with a stick. Video footage shows the migrants holding the animal aloft like a trophy while some cheered, while others expressed concern over the treatment of the protected species. While some witnesses claimed the dolphin was alive when caught, others noted that it was unclear if the animal was already injured before the recording began. Local residents have expressed outrage over the incident, which has become a symbol of the ongoing migration crisis in Ceuta. The enclave has been under pressure since over 70,000 migrants arrived from Morocco in late July, leaving thousands still stranded in makeshift camps. The administration has faced pressure from locals who demand tougher action and the deportation of those remaining. Meanwhile, other wildlife incidents, such as a migrant allegedly capturing a goose, have further fueled the debate over animal welfare in the region.
