How do you feel about the death of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin?

Question

I am devastated and in shock.

Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray barb to his heart while filming.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Irwin have done so much for nature and wildlife - to preserve it, and to keep animals from becoming extinct.

I am so sorry for his wife and children. His shows have always brightened up my life because I am an animal lover.

I think Steve Irwin has definitely made it to Rainbow Bridge, where all of the animals go.

Since he was so good with animals, I am certain that God has arranged a very special place for him. I will really miss him, and my prayers are with his family.

I am wondering how many other animal lovers are affected by his sudden death?

Answer 1

I am also in shock because he has produced many great shows and documentaries that allows humans to enjoy the wildlife that is still available in his grand scale attempt to urge humans to protect the environment, habitats, and wildlife.

I think it's a big loss not just from an animal lover's standpoint, but for everyone else's as well. Young children won't be able to share and experience Steve Irwin's enthusiasm and love for animals, and he made it so easy for humans to love any animal, even the most dangerous ones.

I think it's a tragic loss for everyone and the environment because he tried so hard to protect it and wanted everyone to love animals and the environment as much as possible.

May he RIP.

Answer 2

I think it is a great loss to all Australians because the man has done a lot for the nature and for all annimal lovers around the world. I think that Australia Zoo wont be the same with out him and that they should rename the Zoo the Steve Irwin Zoo

Answer 3

I am so sad and depressed. I feel an actual pain in my heart that has not gone away all day. I feel like crying. This man was one in a billion. He had more love and concern for our animal friends than 100 of any other people. He was such a positive influence on so many people. If he could have lived another 30 or 40 years, just think of how much more he could have contributed to our world. This makes me wonder, how much can the rest of us contribute in his memory?

Answer 4

united statesa. is extra loose than something of the international, somewhat speaking. That being reported, that's fairly going interior the incorrect course.; There at the instant are 2 instructions of voters: individuals that very own the country and the government. and individuals that get exploited by ability of those vendors and that government. while financial establishments at the instant are not purely "too enormous to fail" yet "too enormous to PROSECUTE" then freedom is in basic terms a notice. you at the instant are not something yet a slave (in an financial experience) because of the fact the golden rule will carry genuine: He with the main gold regulations (and since the government. protects the guy with the gold, you're sh*t out of luck undesirable hundreds).

Answer 5

How do I feel? In a word, vindicated. I've been saying for years that anyone who displays such a disregard for life by intentionally placing themselves in harm's way is asking for trouble and will ultimately find it.

He wasn't a "genius" or other such nonsensical terms of endearment that people seem compelled to extol upon him now that he's dead. He was low-brow entertainment for the newest generation of the "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" crowd.

But you know on that show at least Marlin Perkins had the common sense to hire a lackey to do the dangerous stuff... "we'll watch now from the Land Rover as 'Jim" enters the thorn-brush to locate the wounded lion..."

Do I have sympathy for his family? Of course. But if he had taken them into consideration, maybe he wouldn't have kept doing stupid animal tricks...

Answer 6

I couldn't believe it when I read the headline. When I watched his show, I always told myself that this idiot was going to get himself killed someday. The thing is, I didn't actually believe it; it was said with more of an admiring smile and a shake of the head than with a worried frown. It's sad, because we won't be able to watch his adventures anymore, and his wife and daughter must be devastated. On the other hand, he died doing what he loved. We'll miss you, Steve.

Answer 7

This is very sad. There is already another special series that he was filming, plus his daughter Bindi has a show of her own coming out called Jungle girl that will be an educational show about animals. It will be kind of like the wiggles shows with games and songs. Very sad times.

Answer 8

I'm Australian, so you know.

Personally, I am angry at him for his stupid, risky behaviour, especially when he had a wife and kids. He always said he was in mortal danger in his littl stunts, but I believe that people like Steve need to weigh their dangers and wonder whether the risk of never seeing your children again is really worth it all.

By the way, there's only 17 reported deaths via Stingray WORLDWIDE in the history of records. And all of those times the stingrays have felt threatened or provoked. I can't help but think that Steve was taking another silly risk that went horribly wrong.

Answer 9

This lovable larikin was an inspiration to myself and my family.
What he did, raising awareness for Australian (and all) animals, was utterly wonderful...There will never be another...
But yeah...I truly agree about 'Rainbow bridge'
My 8year old son cried a little when he heard ...Then as I was telling my partner (and crying again) He piped up from the back seat and said "Don't worry mum, he will be a very good SOUL..."
I sooooo agree with this...
: )

Answer 10

It was such a shock and it was hard to believe. I am now looking up the stingray to find out about this animal.
