9/4/2006 - RIP - Steve Irwin "Crocodile Hunter"

Just one of many links to a story that everyone's probably already seen

I personally am not a huge fan of his shows at all, but his contribution to conservation and wildlife protection is definitely something that made me admire him. His recent work was moving more toward the marine side of thing, which held a lot more relevance for me personally, and his efforts there will be sorely missed because he was a mover and a shaker who made things happen.

Condolences to his family and friends who no doubt will sorely miss him, as will his fans and the environment he was so passionate about.

I also hope that the media displays sense and doesn't turn the rays into the bad guys because that will definitely not be what Steve intended to happen, given his love for all things animal.

I woke up to the news today. Very sad indeed. Although he may have been perceived as somewhat of an embarrassment by many Aussies, he showed the World so much of the wonder down under. He will be greatly missed. Crikey!

Personally I felt Irwin took way too many chances and showboated too much. I found it hard to accept that he cared about the species and their preservation when he interacted and interfered with them so much. I don't think he set a good example for his viewers.

However I share his passion for marine conservation and extend my condolences to his family and friends, especially his wife and two young children
