rent a dolphin. i do not know of that is true or not, but it is quite disturbing, because it does not fit into the educational context. i would ask each one of you to answer for me, is there some kind of common ground here, some way that we can show these animals, these glorious animals, in a setting that does not have an entertaining -- that does that have them entertaining for their food. that is not natural behavior, and it really does not educate children when you show that they but i think there is a lot for them to actually see. i think because we are so remove from the natural environment, many children will not have families that will take them, will not show them anything, but they could have an opportunity to recognize something very glorious and real. where is the middle ground here, or is there any? we will just go left to right. >> these are some very excellent questions that you bring up. to start at the beginning, and i might miss some of the parts of your question as we go. when you s

the turtles, birds, dolphins. aerial tour and was able to sea dolphins and their babies. one of the huge concerns is this is the most populace area of dolphins off the coast of mississippi and louisiana. the national wildlife foundation found two oily birds including one brown pelican which was just off the endangered species list. another concern, the you lauger head turtle, they found one gasping for air. just because the water looks clear, that's not necessarily the case way out there. >> absolutely. brooke baldwin, thanks very much. >>> many experts believe this oil spill could end up being as devastating as the exxon valdez disaster. we want to find out how communities are coping today, 21 years later, so we sent dan simon to alaska, which was one of the hardest hit areas. he's on special assignment. we're going to bring you his report tomorrow night. >>> coming up, death, destruction and crippling debt in greece. athens is on fire. vie lentz protesters torching the city over the deep spending cuts. the count

the whales and dolphins had no idea this was going on. it was the environmentalists joined the navy in the name of the whales. it got to the ninth circuit court of appeal which said, no, we're not going to do this and let that be litigants, but in theory animals can be granted standing. the example was of congress decided to pass a law, but realize today in court anything can happen and you just have to find that right judge to declare that animals have a right to sue. in europe the european court of human rights has taken the case out of austria. in austria animal rights activists brought a lawsuit to have a chimpanzee declared a person so that the chimpanzee could have a guardian named for it in the same way that the dependent child when have a guardian angel. the supreme court of austria said we're not going there, no way out. the court of human rights, european court of human rights accepted the case. or it is now pending. it doesn't mean they will say yes to the chimpanzee is a person, but often the court doesn't take a case because

we have over 29 different species of whales and dolphins in the gulf of mexico. so there could be a major impact. however, we don't know what to expect, because it's different. we were expecting a lot more impact in the coastal areas, and we just are not sure what we're going to see with the whales that live further off shore. because whales and dolphins have very slick skin, the oil -- it repels oil so it's not goes to attach like with a bird or a turtle, so we're expecting more internal issues like respiratory situations, respiratory impacts, as well as skin lesions, and then for the long term effects, we're concerned about the prey and the prey of these animals and how they're going to be dealing with prey in the future. jane: blair mase is with noaa, we'll keep our fingers crossed as you wait as well. thank you very much. >> thanks. jon: several popular children's medications are being pulled off shelves, mcneil, pulling products because they did not meet quality standards, tie loan coal, benadryl, zyrtec, more than 40 products are affected. jenna lee is with

my question is, what is going to be the impact on the fish and particular it will mammals like dolphins that have to come up to breathe, can they avoight noil any way or recognize it? guest: that's a good question. there have, as you know, been some whale sightings in that area. the problem with the marine mammals is, as you said, they do have to come up to the surface to get air. one of the reasons they want to keep this slick off the marshlands is to prevent there being an area where the marine mammals or birds might land. marine mammals might come up into the area where the slick is and come in contact with the oil. the flip side of this, though, is that when you disperse the oil into the water column, if you have to keep doing that repeatedly because you haven't shut the floor off, the probabilities of impact on organisms living in the water column go up dramatically. the key thing to remember about this bill now is estimates say that approximately 200,000 gallons are coming out of -- of oil are coming out of that well per day. think about that going on for potentially weeks and wee
