Steve Irwin-1 Year Tribute

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You obviously know anything of what he did outside " the croc hunter" and his antics on the show, "conservation through exciting education" has helped thousands maybe millions on educating people on two of the most hated animals on the planet and inspired many to do the same kind of work with him. As for the "animal cruelty" aspect he has done more for these creatures than you could even imagine, pissing off one individual specimen for a short amount of time doesn't even come under "cruelty", he's not dealing with little ponies that sit still and let him pet them. But if you want to see a real prat, look up Austin Stevens. I think before people start posting things like this in a memorial and tribute thread then they better start looking at all the things he's accomplished and if you know anything about reptiles and understand how "cruel" his methods really were.

I wasn't saying he was cruel... Read it. "But i agree with him about the animal cruelty and so forth. I remember him doing one of his shows in India and they were selling cobras with no teeth, That is utterly cruel." Let me refrase that if you didn't understand. I agreed with him about animal cruelty, And markets in india were selling cobras with no teath....

You yanks heard more about Steve than we could. He was 100 times more popular in the US.

Don't flame me for this.
 
I don't even know what to say. I grew up watching him and while being into herps he was the greatest thing. I can't get over what happened, rest in peace.
 
Thanks guys. I remember opening up the paper a year ago and seeing that headline. Sure it was some kind of mistake, I turned on the tv and internet and just sat there and cried like a baby over a person I had never met, and now never would. This thread has been a great tribute to a great man, but now I have to go dry off my keyboard.:cry:

I was replying to your first two paragraphs, not the third, and I'm no yank.
 
I heard they were going to show the actual footage of the place he was filming. Is that true?
