Thanks Rose,
You will learn as you read me that a lot of my writing is done tongue-in-cheek. I really did not like Irwin though. He was a showman. Jack Hanna is an animal expert.

In some ways you are right ...
... but he did do a lot for animal conservation and to bring publicity for it. He was a character and will be missed, but I do see your points!

I'm with you on this one. In fact, I thought I was all alone on this one. Of course you do realise they're not happy with us now?
Not that I'm one for doing this, but I think you'll enjoy my post about him...

I can't and won't feel sympathy for Irwin.
He was an idiot who took too many chances and it caught up with him. His stupidity did him in. I am glad that sometimes people get their due. He got his.

My response
Well, in some ways, I totally agree with you. In other ways I don't. Knowing when to be respectful is one thing, but bashing a guy when he is dead is something else. Steve Irwin, as stupid as he was sometimes knew what he was doing. Getting barbed by that Stingray was 'fatally' unlucky as they rarely attack. If I had ever got cornered by a croc, I would rather he was there than anyone with a gun. Its a complete tragedy what happened. I still can't believe it. Lets not also forget that Steve ran a reserve which helps preserve the lives of the animals. Best wishes to his family.
