You know i was telling a few people on another forum, pretty much the bottom line we just have to be careful around " certain animals ".
Some animals are just too risky to be around, its just the way the world is, at the moment. So maybe people can learn something from his death, even tho i doubt anyone will listen. |

dare2dream28, I didn't mean that he wasn't passionate, or a great person, I know he was! And I admire him for that. But it still doesn't take away from the fact that what he did was dangerous and risky.

Example: My friend always let her dogs run loose at her house since they have a lot of land. Did I agree with this? Absolutely not since their house wasn't that far from a highway. She had her dog for 10 years and nothing happened to him, but sadly, one day he was hit by a car and died. When she told me the news, did I say, "Well that's sad, but he had it coming. You let him loose and you knew the risk of that." Of course not! That would be awful and insensitive of me! The thought ran through my mind, but I still didn't say it because I knew it would hurt her feelings. (BTW before anyone responds, I know the comparison isn't on the same level since I didn't personally know Steve, but still, you get my point). Anyways so yeah, bottom line is Steve was a hero of mine and it's sad that he's gone. |

Still, even tho he took these risks we won't forget that he did alot of good work for animals. But one should also understand those who feel that some of the things he did was simply for TV-entertainment. Sometimes he shouldn't have to take risks - like with a bunch of crocs. But don't think I bash him for it tho - he didn't hurt the animals in any way, so I'm perfectly fine with what he did! But you should respect that others think that some of it was NOT perfectly fine, as there sometimes was an irony in what he preached and what he did himself. We're not all alike, you know |

Well okay a few people, but definitely not Steve Irwin. I'm sorry about your friend's dog! Gosh! That's so sad. (I think that may seem sarcastic, but it's not at all - it's very sad when you lose your pet!) She should have known better, we live in a really quiet neighbourhood and even I am scared to let my cats loose outside the house because I'm scared they'll get hurt I never really paid attention to the guy, but it feels really weird now that he's gone. He had such a nice personality and seemed like a happy person overall. :/ |

I think he was a great man and he risked his life to help people like us learn about the animals of the wild. It was very entertaing to watch him on animal planet while learning amazing stuff about different spieces of animals. He is now gone and I will miss him greatly.
He did enter into a risky and dangerous job but he did it so we all could learn a thing or two about those wild animals. He is loved by many and he will be missed. |

Awwwww, thanks Queenie for those links. LOL@ Bindi in her fairy costume. I'm watching the CNN special on Steve as we speak. Larry King said that website quite a few times throughout the show...I just donated and became a "wildlife warrior." Gahhh this is still so sad!

It was so ironic though that he handled crocodolies and he had to go by a stingray. It wasn't so much his fault as a string of bad luck, I suppose.
( While Treadwell was really pushing it with the bears and if anybody is interested there's a fascinating documentary by legendary director Werner Herzog about Treafwell called Grizzly Man. I hope they do something similar about the "Crocodile Hunter" as a tribute cause he gave us so many hours of amazing footage. ) But as we have said so many times before the cosmos is unforgiving and overly random so if you meddle with the flames you're gonna be burned by the fire ( or something like that ) |

Let’s see : 1. He wasn’t deep diving . He was snorkeling at the shallow water .Meaning ? Not too much space for any maneuvers and too close to the stingray. 2. Sting ray , it’s not a dinner plate size , you know . Those stingrays about 1 meter in diameter and weight up to 100kg . Huge things with bread knife at the end of the tail. 3. They are timid , yeah .. but on another hand they are very easy get frightened; freaky movement , shadow and they go in defensive mode and strike! Cameraman and Steve’s friend knew about this , he says he witnessed not once how stingrays go into defensive mode. It happens to him before(not that he was wounded but he witnessed such things). Best thing in such situation to stay far away. If cameraman knew about this , I’m sure as hell that Steve Irwin knew too. 4. Bad timing ... I don’t really get that point but I was reading these days a lot about the tragedy and what they say it’s something to do with season and sharks , stingrays get especially wary of the danger around such times.. And now imagine ,Steve Irwin just above that beast , 2 m... no room no space…. Like a huge shadow he follows that stingray and follows and follows and follows .. I wasn’t surprised stingray did strike . It’s not just bad luck /freaky accident . The only thing which is really bad luck -- a wound straight into his heart … If it was arm/leg/or lower torso , they could save a brave man . Very sad. But as I said he took unnecessary risk . Never take chances with wildlife. |

That was indeed what I meant by "bad luck". Not to mention that a stingray is not a crocodolie . ie it wouldn't cut you in two. |

Marina, your explanation of possible events would make sense. And yes, it is always a risk dealing with wildlife (believe me, I know from personal experience, although the only time I've ever been bitten by an animal was at a petting zoo! ha! lol ). However, I do agree with [b]spyretto[b]...if Steve was stabbed anywhere except the chest, he could've easily survived. It's extradinary bad luck that the stingray got him right in the chest.

Here's a song that would be appropriate for the croc man to say goodbye to.
On a different note... that Timothy Treadwell story is more horrific still. Partially eaten... ewww. |
