US football team cuts ties with SeaWorld

US football team, the Miami Dolphins have announced they are severing ties with SeaWorld after a two-year marketing partnership that included ticket offers to the marine theme park.

Speculation surrounds the reason for the decision by the Dolphins, but outrage over the park’s marine mammal care in the wake of the documentary “Blackfish” could be to blame.
