Steve Irwin: He's REALLY gone...?

[Bottomfeeder]

I know this is completely irreleavent, but...
i was just reading the thread by TheTrust from when Steve died...i remembered when my dad told me it had happened...i was completely cold. i mean, i was shocked, sad, and everything else, but i didnt cry (even though i was going into 6th grade, very young) i was just in shock. i still cant believe hes gone...i keep thinking..."Hes really gone? No, no way, he cant be." I start to feel hopeful, but then I remember...hes REALLY gone. Forever.
Anyone else still feel like this?
I even occasionally still watch his daughter's show on DK...shes really just like Steve was

i was at work when i was told. it kind of bummed me out. i loved his programmes, so enthusiastic and tactile about stuff that could wipe him out in a second if it felt the whim.

did you see matt ( zoodiver ) talking about him? mmmmhmmm that would soon make you forget about steve.

To be honest i wasn't that impressed with him when he seemed to torment the crocs just a little to much. You could tell he loved animals non the less.

He was a bit rough sometimes, but I would be too when dealing with something that could kill me in a heartbeat. I didn't always agree with his methods, but he was a wonderful advocate for animal rights.

He loved the animals, yes. I hated that he was rough with them, and was fake on the show. (The whole releasing pets, then "capturing" them) He should not have died like that, he should have known better.


I just don't understand all the shock when he died. I mean, really? C'mon now...Its like that motocross dude who just died a bit ago. Everyone is "stunned"...he was doing a backflip, with a Hart Attack mixed in, and wiped out. You play with fire, you get burned.




I do have to say this though: Irwin was able to do alot for the animals and conservation. A bit hypocritical with how he went about it (Disrupting the animals homes/environment/ecosystem, stressing the animals out, etc), but bottom line is he educated a bunch of people on the subject.
