A killer whale is reported to have been spotted off the Spanish coast near Cádiz with visible damage consistent with gunshot pellet wounds. Multiple reports identify the animal as “Toñi” and say holes are seen in its dorsal fin.
Whale conservation groups cited in the coverage attribute the injuries to shotgun fire. The reports also link the sighting to a wider context in which there have been recent incidents involving orcas and yachts, though the accounts provided focus mainly on the physical injuries rather than establishing responsibility for any specific event.
Across the available sources, the key points are the location near Cádiz, the identification of the whale as Toñi, and the interpretation by conservation organizations that the fin damage matches pellet impacts rather than another cause. No additional details are provided here about who fired, when the injuries occurred, or the whale’s condition following the sighting.
