R.I.P. Steve Irwin

Yes it is pretty sad news, but on a side note you kind of have to wonder was he poking it with a stick, saying " He's gettind really ticked off now" when it happened.

R.I.P Steve

It's pretty sad and I don't think anyone expected him to go doing what he'd been doing his whole life. Though in a way thats the best way to go.

He did huge amounts for wildlife in general. R.I.P Stevo.

Apparently he took it right over the heart/lung area. I want to know how it managed to do that.

Guys this is in my personal message on MSN everyone put "Eliminate the stingrays!" in their signatures

Yeah it's horrible that someone died.

But allow me to be heartless just one second, this guy tortured animals and probably gave many crocodiles severe depression. They are wild animals, and are not supposed to be for our entertainment. Would you like a strange man to sit on top of you and shout in your ear while it was filmed? Don't think so.

rach shut up.

Steve did more help for animals than what harm you precieve he does. Hell the guy helped people understand what makes animals do stuff and he was far nicer to them than most documentary people. Quit looking down on him when he's accomplished more in his life than you have.

I have a question:

In Australia, is Steve like some huge national celebrity or something? I mean, all the NZ/Australia people seem to be extremely upset by this.

It is very sad news indeed. I was just wondering if he is on some kind of other-realm of celebrity in Australia.

I've seen him go to remote island villages and remove crocs that were becoming a nuisance to the locals.
Beats shooting them dead.
He was a good bloke and his death saddens me greatly.
My thoughts are with his wife and kids.
There's celebrities and then there's ordinary people like Stevo, who become well known for having a likable personality. A true character.
It's a real shame.

I've actually been saddened an absurd amount all day about this
