He was so down to earth and humorous. His love for animals was amazing and he will be leaving his wife and children behind. I almost feel like I knew him and was just listening to him joking around. It tugs at my heart to hear him go so young.

I agree! He was genuinely funny and his delight with animals was infectious. On screen, he was an absolutely fantastic role model for kids. Off screen, his total dogged commitment to enviromental causes made him a great role model for adults too.
What I liked most was that rare combination of total awe and total lack of fear with which he approached animals. In other words, true respect. Many people will say that that got him in the end, but I say he was leading the way ... if you have a choice between living your life in fear of everything, and going out grabbing it by the tail, then it's far better to get out there really enjoy what you love, right up to the hilt.
He was one of the most genuinely happy human beings I have ever seen on camera ... a guy just beaming with the attitude "Man, what I great life I've got! Isn't she a beauty!"

The comments approximately Australia are loopy. They genuinely have been initially a Gun Nut united states and protested while their government had to take them away. even nonetheless, they have not had a mass taking photos because of the fact that 1992 as a effect and the Australians (even people who protested) will now provide help to realize they experience lots extra secure. besides, no longer all weapons have been taken away; human beings nevertheless have searching rifles and if a bad guy or boogie guy broke into your place, you will possibly nevertheless have the potential to do numerous injury with a searching rifle. My factor - can we actually need each American to have get entry to to gadget weapons and sniper rifles? won't be able to we restrict particular gun get entry to and purely make hand weapons and searching rifles obtainable? in basic terms asserting.
