A quote for the lazy: "PETA spokesman Dan Mathews said: 'He made his career out of antagonising frightened wild animals, and that's a very dangerous message to send to young children.'"
They made the comment just days after he was killed. Indecent? Acceptable? Do you agree that Steve Irwin exploited animals?
Please don't say "I LOVE STEVE!!!" or anything like that. If you do, you will be reported for not answering the question.

I like how PETA says this at the man's death, but not during his life. Steve Irwin was a great PETA supporter and gave them lots of money for their causes. So much for greatfulness.

Steve Irwin was a lively, energetic personality who knew how to use entertainment to try to spread his love of animals.
PETA leaders are a bunch of cranks misleading their membership and are on the US terrorist watch list for financially supporting eco-terrorist groups.
The quote from Dan Mathews was reprehensible & shows the true character of the PETA zealots.
I will be glad when the IRS takes away their charity status & starts prosecuting them.

Quite frankly, I don't really listen or read anything that says anything negative about a person, especially after they have died and cannot defend themselves. Who are we to judge what anyone says or does? If we don't like something then either ignore it or walk away. Why bother with something we have no control over?
PETA as well as Irwin both contributed to a cause they love so let's just leave it as that.

PETA is a cowardly organization run by political lunatics who advocate abortion in order to make room for animals. They assault people then run like cowards when they are challenged. Assuming I was eating meat, a member of this organization placed a graphic, nauseating photo by my lunch plate. When I stood up and loudly said, "hey come and take this back," the person disappeared quick. PETA despises humanity.

I honestly do not agree with anything Peta has to say about anything, espicially considering that they waited until after Steve Irwin died to talk badly about him.

Not at all, absolutely not.
I would say that Steve Irwin was a true conservationist who just had the brilliant idea of finding a new and improved way of spreading the importance of the wildlife and teaching us all to understand and care about this wildlife on earth.

"PETA" knows nothing about anything!!!!
Steve Irwin was a great teacher and conservationist.
I really dislike people like PETA and wish we could be rid of them!!!!!!

I don't agree. PETA should be ashamed. They are a cheap association made famous at the expense of humans.
