Morrissey: Jet2holidays must cut ties to marine parks over orcas and dolphins

Former Smiths frontman criticises holiday firm for selling tickets for Tenerife zoo that offers animal shows

Morrissey has written to Jet2holidays urging the tour operator to drop its association with marine parks that continue to use captive orcas and dolphins for entertainment.

In a letter to the Jet2 chief executive, Steve Heapy, the former frontman of the Smiths said the mammals belonged in the open ocean where they could find food and socialise, which they could not do if they were in a cramped, concrete tank".
