**BREAKING**The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has cited&nbsp;SeaWorld Orlando&nbsp;for violating the Animal Welfare Act, namely for keeping expired veterinary materials and for neglecting to repair dislodged and crumbling rubber flooring which animals walk on during performances at the park.&nbsp;The citations are the result of a January 13, 2014 inspection, records of which were just obtained by&nbsp;PETA.
