A recently released report by federal regulators has raised troubling questions about the care given to dolphins at the Miami Seaquarium, finding that the mammals were underfed and underweight.

According to the 10-page report that was issued by the United State Department of Agriculture in July, the dolphins are turning violent as a result of their conditions at the facility, a 38-acre oceanarium originally founded in 1955 and located on the island of Virginia Key in Biscayne Bay.

But officials at the attraction, which is now under new management after being acquired by The Dolphin Company in March, told CBS 4 about what they found when they took over.
