'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin killed
OK, it's sad that he's dead, but what's he doing going around provoking animals like that in the first place?
What's this obsession with showing animals as dangerous in the name of entertainment?
"Stingrays only sting in defence, they're not aggressive animals so the animal must have felt threatened. It didn't sting out of aggression, it stung out of fear," Dr Bryan Fry, Deputy Director of the Australian Venom Research Unit at the University of Melbourne said.

Surely the view that all animals are dangerous is worse than complete ignorance.
Haven't seen much Steve Irwin (as I wasn't really impressed with what I saw), but what I did see seemed to be some sort of "fierce creatures" style freak show to show off how animals are all supposedly dangerous. I really don't think it should be about that, but maybe it wasn't, maybe that's just the bit I saw.
MONEY
and
FAME
both addictive.
I know, I'm a total failure.
