Haver Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 He would want it this way. Irwin's death was only the third known stingray death in Australian waters, said shark and stingray expert Victoria Brims. Wildlife experts said the normally passive creatures only sting in defence, striking with a bayonet-like barb when they feel threatened or are trodden on.

rokhed00 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 He would want it this way, Shorty. Too right, the guy dedicated his life to abusing deadly animals and he must've known that despite how entertaining some people found his animal abuse that when it inevitably backfired on him that people had the right to poke fun at it the same way he poked all those poor animals.

The3rdChildren Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 He died doing what he loved, ironically against a much less dangerous foe then we'd have all expected. A quality guy, a top entertainer and a legend in every right. Rest in peace, Steve Irwin. You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errrm I agree with Shorty and knightendo here. Right so let me make my point, poking animals does not hurt them in any way, it only aggrivates (sp?) them. And I dont think Steve deserves jokes about his death. Anyway R.I.P Stevy and god bless your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lammie Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 He should have worn sunscreen. It might have blocked out the harmful rays. Was a bit of a shock, but y'know....the odds were bound to catch up with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rokhed00 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Right so let me make my point, poking animals does not hurt them in any way So, you wouldn't mind if I poked you with a sharp stick repeatedly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 So, you wouldn't mind if I poked you with a sharp stick repeatedly? I certainly wouldn't mind if you did that to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike-zim Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 i say it is a shame the guy died. Rok i see your point and agree. but you must realise he did do good things for animals too. i am sure that when he was poking with stick it was not with the intention to torment them, i might be wrong. but i agree that the picture was funny. i see no reason for the flaming. the man died from an animal attack he was always going to go that way.

fatnickc Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I'm amazed at how I keep thinking how sad this is. Shallow as it may sound, normally when someone famous dies I feel bad for a bit, but then let it go. Since I heard the news this morning, I have been thinking that it is quite a loss. Commiserations go to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 On the bright side, Dabookerman and I decided that he'll have a bunch of cool extinct creatures to fight with up in heaven. Dinosaurs and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haver Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The thing is, every time I imagine what happened, it's just like that scene out of Invasion, you know? Also, apparently, the ray was buried and Steve swam over it, as opposed to him poking it or whatever and it felt threatened and did its thing. I couldn't stomach his show but he had kids and it's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minihobbsch Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I had always imagined Steve to die wrestling crocs in his late 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
