First of all I want to say that it's lovely to come to a site like this where there is nothing but positive sentiment for the man. I go to a few other boards, and on some, a few people had the gall to say he "had it coming", and other similar ignorant comments. It really angered me, and I ended up replying to the person, ect. So it's nice to come here and see all the positivity.
Steve Irwin was such a great guy. So full of live, so enthusiastic about wildlife and helping animals... He did so much good for animals all over the world. It makes me really sad that he's gone so young, and I really feel for Terri and his kids. It was just a freak accident. I was actually at Marine World a few weeks ago, and they had a touch-tank with stingrays in it (stingers clipped back of course), and I got to touch a couple (they feel slimey). That's the first thing I thought of when I heard about Steve. I've watched a lot of his shows, they were really entertaining. He always seemed like he took risks - but not stupid risks - he didn't want to die, he just wanted to show us the awesomeness of nature. May he rest in peace, and I hope he's playing with his crocs over the bridge.
