Title: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on September 04, 2006, 12:46:34 AM I just saw this on CNN.com, there isn't much news on it, this is what it says:
Steve Irwin, Australian TV presenter known as "The Crocodile Hunter," killed in marine accident, news wires report. Details soon. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: badapple81 on September 04, 2006, 12:54:50 AM Yes this is just coming through in Australia too.
A string ray barb went through his chest whilst filming an underwater documentary. Whilst I was never a fan, and he really did put himself at risk a lot, it's sad for his wife and young children - any loss and death of someone so young is tragic. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on September 04, 2006, 01:04:31 AM It's sad that the wee ones won't have a dad in their lives, but I think if he had to go, this is the way he would want togo.
Since you said that he died whilst filming, is there any chance we might get the chilling footage? :nervous: Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Axl4Prez2004 on September 04, 2006, 01:07:55 AM Very sad news...and I heard it here first at HTGTH! Thanks Garry.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Poof! on September 04, 2006, 01:12:27 AM Shit...That sucks. I've watched him for years and his energy was just amazing to view. Truly shocking and sad. :'(

Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on September 04, 2006, 01:33:00 AM SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) -- Steve Irwin, the Australian TV presenter known as the "Crocodile Hunter," has died after being stung in a marine accident off Australia's north coast.
Australian media reports say Irwin was diving in waters off Port Douglas, north of Cairns, when the incident happened on Monday morning. Irwin was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest, according to Cairns police sources. Irwin was filming an underwater documentary at the time. Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality Monday morning off Port Douglas, according to Australian media. Queensland Police Services also confirmed Irwin's death and said his family had been notified. Irwin, 44, was director of the Australian Zoo in Queensland. He and his American-born wife Terri Irwin became popular figures on Australian and international television through Irwin's close handling of wildlife, most notably the capture of live crocodiles. They have two children, Bindi Sue, born 1998, and Robert (Bob), born December 2003. Irwin's enthusiastic approach to nature conservation and the environment won him a global following. He was known for his exuberance and use of the catchphrase "Crikey!" But his image suffered a setback in January 2004 when he held his then one-month-old baby Bob while feeding a crocodile at his Australian zoo. Irwin's wife Terri was believed to be on location in Tasmania, filming another documentary. Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer expressed his sorry Monday and said that he was fond of Irwin and was very appreciative of all the work he had done in promoting Australia overseas.

Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on September 04, 2006, 01:43:46 AM It's the stinger, the pointy thing that juts out of them.

That's what I found searching for it..but I'm sure the one that stabbed him would have been a little bit bigger Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: GNRBABY on September 04, 2006, 02:32:35 AM It's very sad to see that Steve has died :'( I had always expected to hear news like this one day, but had always hoped I was wrong.

Thats really sad. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Kaybee on September 04, 2006, 03:18:54 AM :( It's very sad. He has done a lot for Australian conservation and the environment.
At least he died doing something he loved. Apparently they just let his wife know, since they couldn't contact her in Tasmania :( Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: SLCPUNK on September 04, 2006, 03:25:21 AM Crikey!
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Megaguns on September 04, 2006, 03:50:22 AM Its a damn shame, RIP steve, His wife is down here in tassie at the moment. A shame they didnt get a proper goodbye :'(

Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: badapple81 on September 04, 2006, 06:39:07 AM Must admit that although I wasn't the biggest fan in the world, I am quite sad at this. Australia is quite stunned. Very sad.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: MadmanDan on September 04, 2006, 08:07:36 AM So sad...I never was a big fan, but I always admired his enthusiasm and his love for animals...RIP

RIP Steve Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Grouse on September 04, 2006, 09:40:44 AM Oh man I'm stunned? :no: When I was younger I always used to watch his show, Can't believe he died like that....rip mate :'(,?
Oh and here's a picture of stingray's barb: (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/64/Spine2ks2.jpg) Apparently he didn't get killed while shooting a documentary for himself but He had been filming a segment for his daughter Bindi's upcoming television series, how sad is that? :no: He's only the second person ever to die from a stingray attack Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Genesis on September 04, 2006, 10:01:18 AM That's sad.

Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Kujo on September 04, 2006, 10:32:25 AM Yes its sad that he died, but he knew the risks of what he was doing. Yes he did alot of good things for Australia wild life but what does that do for his wife and children now?
It's obviously not my job to judge anyone, but he was already in a very dangerous career to begin with, and in alot of the shows I watched he seemed to take more chances than necessary. Just seemed a bit irresponsible to continue to take such risks knowing he had children that would probably like to grow up knowing their father. Just my opinion. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: slash666 on September 04, 2006, 10:49:51 AM ^ he enjoyed what he did, it was up to him not you.
and Grouse i dont think it was for his daughters TV series as she is only 8 R.I.P Steve, you will be missed Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Malcolm on September 04, 2006, 10:55:34 AM RIP Steve....Died doing what he loved
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Kujo on September 04, 2006, 10:56:39 AM ^ he enjoyed what he did, it was up to him not you. Hence the "Just my opinion" comment. So are you saying its o.k. to put his work over the long term well being of his family? Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: slash666 on September 04, 2006, 10:58:52 AM well im sure his family supported his decision, as his wife did star in the show aswell
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: 2NaFish on September 04, 2006, 11:02:46 AM Yes its sad that he died, but he knew the risks of what he was doing. Yes he did alot of good things for Australia wild life but what does that do for his wife and children now? It's obviously not my job to judge anyone, but he was already in a very dangerous career to begin with, and in alot of the shows I watched he seemed to take more chances than necessary. Just seemed a bit irresponsible to continue to take such risks knowing he had children that would probably like to grow up knowing their father. Just my opinion. probably as much risk being an airline pilot or a cop or a fireman. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Kujo on September 04, 2006, 11:26:13 AM That is true 2NaFish, there are risks in any career. I believe the man was very knowledgeable about what he did for a living. I just think he took some unnecessary risks whether it be because he was an adrenaline junkie, or he actually believed he could anticipate every move that these wild animals would make. To take an already dangerous career and make it even more dangerous with your actions, in my opinion, is irresponsible when you have a family to consider.
His wife was on the show because she worked at the site with him, doesn't mean she agreed or disagreed with the extremes he would take. None of us can know what she thought about it. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: slash666 on September 04, 2006, 11:29:32 AM well His wife Terri once said, "The only thing that could ever keep him away from the animals he loves are the people he loves even more"
also another quote from her from Wikipedia: "We don't drink, we don't smoke, and we are actually in love and happily married. We love our little girl, we go home to each other at night, and we believe in what we are doing," "Say my husband had a dangerous job and I wasn't with him, I don't know how you go, 'Oh honey, how was it with the police department today? You got all your fingers and toes today?' It would scare me. I'd have to become a police officer and work with him; I couldn't do it." Both Terri and Steve felt that their love for wildlife and their dedication to spreading the "conservation" message is a 24/7 duty. For example, the Irwins spent their 10th wedding anniversary helping Indonesian elephants. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Kujo on September 04, 2006, 11:36:49 AM Unfortunately it wound up being the other way around. :no:
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: mrlee on September 04, 2006, 11:43:46 AM its so lame. he was very passionate about helping animals and its just something i didnt expect.
r.i.p steve Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Mandy. on September 04, 2006, 11:46:07 AM I remember the first time I saw him on TV... ?:'( RIP, Steve.
Apparently he didn't get killed while shooting a documentary for himself but He had been filming a segment for his daughter Bindi's upcoming television series, how sad is that? :no: Imagine that. It's a burden his daughter will carry for the rest of her life. Even though it wasn't her fault. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Kujo on September 04, 2006, 11:57:01 AM That report is false, unless he had kids from a previous marriage. His kids with his current wife are only 2 and 8 years old.

I love to watch his programs on Animal planet Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: slash666 on September 04, 2006, 01:18:05 PM i hope he gets a statue or something special in his honour in australia
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Grouse on September 04, 2006, 01:23:17 PM wow I'm actually quite surprised at how popular Steve was, there are Tribute videos popping up on youtube already, and sadly enough there are a number of sick people out there claiming that they've already got "the video" ofcourse they are just full of it, but the sad thing is that it probably will end up on the net at some point in time for everyone to see? :no:
Quote i hope he gets a statue or something special in his honour in australia He's getting his own foundation and I believe Discovery channel is planning on naming a park after him Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: blaqktiger on September 04, 2006, 01:35:03 PM Still very shocking :'(

I hope wherever he is, he knows how much people love him and miss him. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on September 04, 2006, 02:38:26 PM He did so much for animals and nature, and at the same time brought in a lot of happiness inside other people's homes. My dad pretty much watched him everyday on the Animal Planet, and I sometimes watched too. It was so much fun watching him handle the animals with love and compassion.
"Ooooh, we've got a beauty right here!" He was so full of life and i's just hard to grasp that he's gone all of a sudden. :no: :'( :crying: Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Jim on September 04, 2006, 02:41:07 PM Damn, I was hoping he was going to branch out into film one more time.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: slash666 on September 04, 2006, 02:48:28 PM i used to watch all the time, ive taken this pretty badly (i cried alot today about it) i can't even imagine how Terri & there familys have taken it
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: slashisvr on September 04, 2006, 03:04:02 PM very sad, he was the best at what he did!!im quite happy he died doin what he loved!
he was very good at what he did, did alot for the land downunder also, but i must say he had it coming to him, he was provoking nature, dangerous nature Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: the dirt on September 04, 2006, 03:04:18 PM He died what he loved doing
RIP Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Hammy on September 04, 2006, 03:04:35 PM RIP, Steve :'(

Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: mdttkk on September 04, 2006, 03:07:01 PM wow i saw the first news report about it on the internet and was so shocked, and ive been thinking about it all day now. im so sad :(
kinda like when pope john paul II died i was just really sad even though i didnt know the guy. RIP Steve, gonna miss that guy saying "CRIKEY" Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: A Private Eye on September 04, 2006, 03:38:42 PM Very sad I used to love his programmes, he did a lot for the conservation of nature and will be sadly missed.
RIP Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Mandy. on September 04, 2006, 03:45:26 PM I like to believe he's in a better place now, and I know he died doing what he loved. But I can't help but think about his wife and children... He left 2 little children.? :'(
It's a loss for everyone, but it's just so sad to think about his family.? :no: Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on September 04, 2006, 04:51:35 PM to be honest,i wasnt his biggest of fans although i did enjoy some of his crazy antics but id just like to say i did feel gutted for him and his family when i heard the news.R.I.P STEVIE BOY :'(
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: lcg on September 04, 2006, 04:55:51 PM I liked watching his programs. He seemed a very nice man.
R.I.P :'( Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: bazgnr on September 04, 2006, 05:08:14 PM I still can't get over how much of a freak accident the whole thing was. I've been scuba diving many times, and been around stingrays on most of those dives. Getting stung by one is far from rare, but actually dying from one is. It's so very sad and horribly unfortunate that he got hit where he did. A irreplacable loss for his family and his fans...
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: liquidvirus on September 04, 2006, 05:18:03 PM RIP:(....Man im really gonna miss him, he made some of the most entertaining nature shows ive ever seen
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: badapple81 on September 04, 2006, 05:30:30 PM Apparently it's only the 3rd known death from getting attacked by a Sting Ray. Tragic.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: themovieaddict.com on September 04, 2006, 05:43:07 PM Steve said if he ever died to keep filming it so the footage wouldn't go to waste. I really hope the footage of him getting stung by the stingray surfaces soon!
People will say" YOU'RE SICK" but hey...these are Steve's own wishes...besides, I'm curious to know whether he provoked the thing or was just swimming around and suddenly, BAM! Out of nowhere, you know? Either way, a very sad day. It's not really the fact that he's dead that's so upsetting as much as what he represented. It's a huge blow to that part of our minds where we feel as if these people are safe. The Crocodile Hunter was like the guy who could never get killed - he messed around with huge deadly creatures. And what ended up killing him? A fucking stingray. Tragic. "Crikey...I survived the lion attack, the elephant stampede, the alligator ambush and the swarm of killer bees...and I'm the second guy to be killed by a stingray in Australian history." Never Underestimate The Power Of The Stingray, I suppose. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: SuperMike on September 04, 2006, 05:52:37 PM That's a shame, he was a funny guy.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: JeRrYFaR on September 04, 2006, 06:07:25 PM He will be missed.. I personally am a "herper" which is someone that photographs reptiles and Steve helped me to get into that sport. I'm not nuts like him, but he was a very entertaining guy.
I made my avatar for him, though you can't see it as it's so small.. -Dave Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Kujo on September 04, 2006, 07:28:37 PM According to a story on CNN.com someone who was on the crew said it was a freak incident. Steve was swimming into an area and boxed in the stingray without even realising it. The stingray just acted in natural self defense.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: jabba2 on September 04, 2006, 07:38:27 PM Wikopedia says 17 known deaths from sting rays but of course many things on that site are subjective.
I remember around 1999 when those shows came out it was unlike anything else on TV. Steve was taking less risks since those days, but i still ocasionally watched his show. Steve was never once bitton by a poisenous snake. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on September 04, 2006, 07:42:55 PM Sad thing is, he probably wouldn't blame the creature.... :no: That's how good a man he was.

Quote The underwater video footage of Steve Irwin's death after he was speared in the chest by a stingray was "shocking" his manager reportedly said today. John Stainton told reporters the footage, which he had handed to police, was the worst thing he had ever seen, Sydney's 2GB radio reported this morning. "I have seen the footage and it's shocking," Mr Stainton said. "It's a very hard thing to watch because you're watching somebody die and it's terrible." Mr Stainton, also a producer and director of Irwin's popular television shows, said the footage showed Mr Irwin pulling the barb out of his chest before losing consciousness. 'The tail came up' "It shows that Steve came over the top of the ray and the tail came up, and spiked him here (in the chest), and he pulled it out and the next minute he's gone. "That was it. The cameraman had to shut down." Mr Stainton, who was aboard Mr Irwin's vessel Croc One when the tragedy occurred, said it was likely the television star and naturalist died almost immediately as a result of the stingray's blow. "(He was) probably a metre coming over the top of it," he said. "He was underwater. I think, and the coroner's report will say what happened, but I think he died fairly instantly." Mr Stainton said he was still in disbelief that a stingray could claim his close friend's life. "He was always on the precipice," he said. "He always pushed himself to the very limits but I thought he was invulnerable and I think he did too. Close shaves "I think we all had that belief that we'd pull through whatever situation we were in and he has been in some very close shaves with snakes and crocodiles. "I would never imagine it to come from something like a stingray." A post-mortem examination has confirmed Irwin died after being speared in the chest by a stingray's poisonous barb. "We're not going into the detail but there's definitely no surprises. Everyone knows how he died," a police spokeswoman said. Mr Stainton said Irwin's crew was struggling to come to terms with the death. "Devastated," Mr Stainton said when asked at a news conference in Cairns today how Mr Irwin's crew was coping with the loss.

Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Danny Top Hat on September 05, 2006, 09:02:41 AM I think your talking about Steve Austin or Austin Stevens "snakemaster" another reptile guy who was bite by a Cobra and used a venom pump to suck it out. thats another reptile guy on Animal planet. Definately not Steve Austin! It may have been the other guy, but I was pretty sure looking back that it was Steve Irwin. You've put doubt in my mind now as i'm famed for my bad memory. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Evolution on September 05, 2006, 11:55:30 AM R.I.P to Steve Irwin.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Bridge on September 05, 2006, 12:02:42 PM I was shocked and saddened by his death. I never really watched his show, but I always loved watching his appearances on Jay Leno and Conan O'brien. His energy, enthusiasm, and love for what he did are unmatched by anyone. But at least he died doing what he loved to do, he said during his life that he wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: LittleFly on September 05, 2006, 01:21:31 PM I've read now that they are going to broadcast the video of his death. It was his wish and the family members are not going to go against it.
My guess is it will be shown on TV in the UK and Austrailia, but that the US will censor it. I'm morbidly curious, it's my nature. I think the whole thing is tragic though :( He brough conservation to the masses like no other. RIP :( Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Kujo on September 05, 2006, 02:13:48 PM I was do a search on google checking out the rumor that the video will be shown.

Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: JeRrYFaR on September 05, 2006, 03:59:50 PM I heard on the radio this morning that he would possibly be alive today if he hadn't pulled the barb out of his chest.. Again, it was something on the radio, but apparently he was very much alive until he himself pulled the barb out of his chest..
If that's true, he might have been saved had he left it in there. BTW, I have a pic that I did in his honor yesterday on my blog: http://jerryfar.blogspot.com He will be missed..

Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Grouse on September 10, 2006, 05:05:02 AM ?Crocodile Hunter? Irwin gets private funeral
Australian TV naturalist reportedly to be buried at family?s zoo SYDNEY - A private funeral service was held for Australian TV naturalist Steve Irwin on Saturday and he will be buried at his family?s zoo in the northern state of Queensland, local media reported. Irwin?s father, Bob Irwin, had declined a government offer for a state funeral for his son. Irwin, known as the ?Crocodile Hunter? after his popular TV documentaries which aired around the world, was killed six days ago by a stingray barb to the chest while diving on Australia?s Great Barrier Reef. After the funeral service his body was taken to his family?s Australia Zoo wildlife park, where he is expected to be buried, local media reported on Sunday. Irwin, 44, had flirted with death many times in his ?Crocodile Hunter? documentaries, seen by 200 million people, wrestling with some of the world?s most dangerous creatures. News of Irwin?s death clogged Internet news sites and drew tributes from around the world. Prime Minister John Howard interrupted parliament to pay tribute to him, saying he was distressed by the loss of a remarkable Australian. A public memorial service that is likely to draw thousands of mourners was expected to take place later this month. Well that's a bit akward being burried in the zoo, I mean isn't that the same as getting burried in your backyard or something. Didn't even know those kind of things were allowed in Austrailia..

Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Lucky on September 10, 2006, 06:52:13 PM the guy was an idiot. and I'm not suprised by this.
I watched his show, and he was torturing pore animals. his talk was a source for comedy, and he always made drama out of everything. I guess this taugh him a lession. concerning him wanting the people see his death, that's another fucked up thing he did. he was an atention whore. and does anyone remember the time when he almost feed his kid to a crocodile? I guess he'll definitely get an darvin award for this. I'm not some sick bastard, and I'm not happy that he's dead, but I dont see the point in grief. it's like crying when bush dies. enough with the crocodile tears :rofl: Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Evolution on September 10, 2006, 06:59:30 PM Don't you think the Australian authorities would have shut him down a long time ago if he was cruel to animals?

If you don't feel particularly upset about his death, why post here and tell people that? Useless. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Danny Top Hat on September 10, 2006, 07:06:35 PM Because it's on-topic. He's allowed to say how he feels.
I disagree that he was cruel to the animals. People used to joke about how he'd find deadly creatures and try to piss them off but there was a lot more to him than that. He was an animal enthousiast and I am sure he genuinely cared about them. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Evolution on September 10, 2006, 07:08:22 PM It's on-topic, but to me, a misplaced feeling.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Lucky on September 10, 2006, 07:12:29 PM Because it's on-topic.? He's allowed to say how he feels.

He was an animal enthousiast and I am sure he? genuinely cared about them. thank you. I think he was pissing a lot of animals, and making money out of it. you dont call a pedophile a "kid enthusiast", you call him for what he is - a pedophile. that's why I dont like to call Irwin an animal enthusiast but an animal molester/idiot. Wild animals dont like to be fondled, and that guy jerked off any animal he could get his hands on. it was disgusting. just let them be. you dont need to get your greasy hands all over them. @Evolution: australian government has an extermination program for many species because they eat the grass intended for the sheeps, ... so I dont think they'd have a problem with someone torturing a snake or two. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Evolution on September 10, 2006, 07:14:53 PM You honestly think he acted in a malicious way with animals? He got stuck in, sure, but at the end of the day he did more to help than harm.

Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Evolution on September 10, 2006, 07:22:39 PM At least have some respect for the dead. Let's agree to disagree.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Lucky on September 10, 2006, 07:24:46 PM agreed.
I love when people are civilised. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on September 11, 2006, 12:10:52 AM He never did anything other than to try and do things right for animals. He went close? Sure he did, but we got some magnificent shots and learned a lot about animals in the process. He never once harmed any living creature, and was always respectful to dead animals as well. When he saw that he was pissing off animals, he left. He never even bothered the creatures when they were on a bit of a pee break!

How did he piss off animals, sure he'd grab a snake or 2 to show us them but thats no major harm is it, plus think of all the good he did, conservation programmes etc. he always had the animals best interests at heart, truely loved all animals Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: R4tfink on September 11, 2006, 04:54:40 PM Watched one of his shows last night when he was handling the most venemous snake in the world, the snake got pissed off and he was really emotional, almost to the point of tears because he had upset the snake. This was a behind the scenes show on his film. He then lectured all the crew about how he loves handling animlas but at the first sign of it becoming pissed off, he would let it go and find another subject.
How anyone can say this guy molested animals i will never know. Steve Irwin was and will remain a legend for what he achieved as a conservationist and animal lover worldwide. RIP Steve.

these 2 are probably more educational than Irwin, and probably piss off less animals than he did.

If someone isnt an animal expert themselves then I dont see how they can give such a strong oppinion on what they think is going on with the animals Steve encountered. The reason Steve had this in the public was to get people invloved, the reason he had the zoo was for people to have a one on one experience with animals, the reason he was so passionate on capturing every bit of these animals on film as some would say "for show" or "publicity", YEAH FOR SHOW AND PUBLICITY TO RAISE AWARENESS and attraction and desire and love for these animals. That's why Steve always says the reason for all he does is "if we can touch people about wild life then they will want to save it" He gave an example that if you go to sea world and have an a special encounter with a dolphin then you will want to save it, yeah maybe that one dolphin didnt like what was going on when they captured it but it's gone on to save and better so many more. Through all the animals he encountered, even if the animal was at discomfort or didnt want to be messed with by oh my gosh 5 min. maybe even seconds, it bettered the cause in the long run. They face more discomfort by being slautered and gutted by other animals in the wild, Im sure they can handle Steve Irwin holding them for 5min to try to capture peoples attention and desire for that animal to save them all. And to disvalue a human life is disgusting, no animal compares to humanity.
Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: kathryn2662 on September 12, 2006, 07:05:41 AM hmm.. and I dont think that these animals were permanantly scared from their short lived encounter with Steve. He never caused them pain, only discomfort all animals face. You cant tell me that you havent picked up your cat or dog and proceed to do so as they scream around. They are not humans and they do not have feelings like we do. Im sure 5min after he left they not only did not care anymore but did not even remember he was there. Honestly, how ignorant to think these animals actualy gave a second thought about what happened to them or that they actualy cared. Im sure if you saw them now they arent on dr. phil talking about the trama they faced from Steve Irwin touching them.

True, I pick my dog up so he can see the world from my perspective. I think Steve was a legend and I agree that if he pissed off some animals they won't really give a shit 5 seconds later. Some dumb fucks have carried out revenge attacks against sting rays now: clickus (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/5338118.stm). This shows animals have more intelligence than some humans. Title: Re: The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin Has Died Post by: Bridge on September 16, 2006, 12:14:38 PM ?
