Steve was one cool dude. I went to his wildlife zoo a few years back and he put on some wicked big big shows all about conservation. The crowds loved it when he fed his crocs.
I read that he pulled out the stingray barb from his heart/chest before he died - wow.
He signed his hat and gave it to me - I still have it.Comment

Today's (Sept 6) Cincinnati Enquirer has a political cartoon by Jim Bergman that honours Iwrin.
Sows a group of crocodiles with one telling the others "We're going to miss him. CRIKEY!"
The guy had the balls to follow his passion in life and passed doing what he was passionate about.

I don't know what to make of this, really.
I'm deeply saddened but I was always taught not to fuck with animals, dangerous or otherwise. We caught snakes as kids and sold them to the Commonwealth Serum Laboratory, we never annoyed them. I used to cringe at some of the things he did but knew his heart was in the right place and expected he'd mellow some day. Sadly, we won't see how powerful he may have been as an advocate for our environment and what it contains.
It seems unfair he was taken out by a fish that Bev, Diana, Ulla and I swim with every time we go to our local beach.
I hurt for his family and those close to him and lament what the rest of us may have lost.
Vale, Steve Irwin.Last edited by Peter Voice; Sep-06-2006, 09:11 AM.Every-one should watch their drawers!

does'nt Rumple also say "crikey!" alot....hmmmmm
I am saddened by the news of such a loss...but I also believ he was on some serious borrowed time, he put himself at risk so many times...it is almost as if fate said "we are going to make you go in a really random virtually unheard of way!"Comment

All the people that say he went the best way he could, this video proves you wrong.

Am I the only person who thinks this is funny?
He spends his whole life poking at dangerous crocodiles and in the end gets killed by a fish?
That's hilarious.Comment
