steve was awesome, he did alot for enviromental education in schools around australia, bought tracts of land to never be touch so new habitats could evolve for wild life. he was a really down to earth guy and educated alot of people about wild life. he didn't just run and jump on crocs etc for no reason. when the ray barbed him he pulled the thing out of his heart himself.

I'm sure he was a good guy. He was an entertainer. He put his life on the line - cops do it. But he just did it for entertainment. May have done some great stuff, but the risk wasn't necessary. However, the point is, whether he had it coming, or was stupid and deserved it - his kids didn't. He didn't just lose an arm - he died. "Well...but he was whacko." :rolleyes:

let's face it, we all knew it would happen sooner or later. that's just common sense.

There have only been three recorded deaths in Australia from sting ray attacks. Unlucky bastard.

That goes to show ya!

He was the third. And apperently they're meant to be very docile creatures!

Let's face it. The guy was fucking around, big time!

The last time there was an attack was 50 years ago so he must've pissed it off big time.

if you fuck with animals then you live by their rules and that rules are survival of the fittest.

i'm glad he is dead.

never watched him.

when i heard the news on the radio this morning however i was happy i have a relatively safe job. of course i could get irradiated by a computer & die.

however, thrill seekers ultimately get what they want, no? i'm afraid it's true...

you're a twat

the fuckhole got what he deserved, and he had it coming. and you don't have the right to insult me on my opinion, bitch.

he didn't deserve to die!!

"your" is possessive for the 2nd person... wouldn't it be "your twat" then?

or are you referring to his "a" twat as opposed to his "b" twat?

i wonder about these things some times...

i guess what i ment was "you are a twat"

mistreating animals is so cool, right? let me see you get forced to spend time with someone you don't like in front of cameras against your will, and have that someone touch you and handle you even if you don't like it.

better yet, whould you like your father to expose you to a wild animal when you were a baby?

and no, i don't have a twat, but i gave you credit as i understood you were insulting me.

si. i was trying to throw this thread into a whole absurdist slant.

when did i say that mistreating animals was cool?, when?, yes he might have been working with animals at the time that he died, but he still did not "deserve to die".
He taught millions of people about animals, its not like he was a hunter, or made his proffesion from killing animals. He looked after animals in the Zoo's he worked in.
Whether you agree that Zoo's are a good or bad thing is another thing.

and if your going to pick on me for my grammar i will point out that the word 'would' does not have an 'H' in it.

sounds like kiddie porn man. that's fucking gross.

at least get informed, he handled animals improperly, he got in their way; it's not like people, animals don't have a choice or a way to talk themselves out of situations they don't want to be a part of, people like this steve irwin mistreat animals in the name of "education" or "animal protection" when they don't respect animals and thei habitats, the way he died proves it (animal felt threatened by some retarded, weak human and defended itself, it was killed or be killed for the animal).

one thing is the way national geographic and discovery channel were (are?) were they film animals in their habitats and without their intervention, which is the way it should be because not only do we see how animals really are but show respect for them as fellow living creatures, and another very different is people who whore themselves thru handling animals for their stupid human purposes (like sigfried and roy who also got what they deserved).

your talking about animal cruelty, im talking about people not deserving to die.

my point exactly, little kids and animals don't have a choice, they are forced into situations like that and i think people who do that are sick. one thing is a fully reasoning human being and another beings who can't communicate.

consider this: if someone films a person with the purpose of public or private showing, they have to legally agree to give permission for that use, if there's no understanding between the two parts, then the footage can't be shown; if it gets shown anyway, then that's against the law. do they ask animals (or kids, who need the permission of their legal guardians) for permission to show footage of them? no, because we can't communicate with animals, but people still invade their spaces, treat them in ways they don't like to be treated and still get exposed by some oportunist assholes.

people who are cruel to animals deserve to die.

i take it you are vegan then?

i'm not even pationate about animals, i just think it sucks that people take advantage of beings that don't really have a choice. abuse against these creatures.

and no, i'm not a vegan, i eat meat, i eat a lot of animals; you can start arguing with me about this being cruelty and blah blah, i'm not going there, it's my choice, i am concious that it's cruel to eat animals but that's the way i live and that's the way nature is. it's food, not celebrity and tv.

I heard about this the other day, fucking sad. He was kind of cool :) But come one, it was bound to happen sooner or later hahaha.
All my friends think he's still alive with Tupac and Elvis for whatever reason.

so you dont like people being "cruel" to animals, but your okay with people killing them for you to eat.

i kinda respected you a bit there for a minute, sticking up for animals that much.
But if you eat meat and have those opinions than i was right in the first place.
sorry

i don't think eating animal is cruel,the way they are grown+breed in many cases surely is.and now i'll forget about this thread for,like,ever.

so i have a twat?

i heard about it yesterday and i laughed. and then cried. i thought he was invincible...

yes you are twat.:)

now if we consider this job was his living, then he molested animals in order to eat...

and you are idiot. me not being vegan doesn't take away that the asshole tortured animals so he could be on tv.

i wonder if some of the animals enjoyed the stardom. if i was a chimp i sure would.

so people who torture animals deserve to die, but people who kill animals for food they are okay???

what about the fucking stingray. i bet he's a god to all the creatures. he's slayn a beast of a man

what is this thing "food" you guys speak of?

Bummer for his kid

Who is Steve Irwin?

google him, or wikipedia him.
