i had a 36-year career with seaworld and seaworld has never done anything to hurt the animals. think about it. why would they want to hurt the animals that is the draw for people to come to their park? i mean, they take the absolute best care of those animals you could possibly do. you know, the whole thing -- this whole lawsuit i think is a huge publicity stunt. and it's just a shame that pet ts a does not spend their time doing something that would be worthwhile. >> thad, i know that you care deeply about the animals, and we certainly appreciate your time an your contribution today. jeffrey toobin, you as well. nice to see you both. thank you. >>> 7 billion. that's how many people will occupy the earth as of sometime sunday into monday. but can the world handle a population of that size? first a look at the top videos trending on cnn.com. >> tonight we're adding mania over mcdonald's mcrib. >>> come halloween, there will be so many of us on earth that it's actually kind of scary, and it's a story we think has been undercover ed the u.n. just relea released a record about the
