On a beach in Ceuta — the small Spanish enclave pressed against Morocco's coast — a baby dolphin swam too close to shore and did not swim back. Migrants pulled the calf from the water and beat it to death while residents shouted in protest, the moment captured on video and released into a community already stretched thin by mass migration. The killing of a protected animal has become a focal point for a deeper human conflict: who belongs, who decides, and what obligations we carry toward the vulnerable — whether they swim, walk, or wade across a border.
