Cat Forum / General Topics / September 2006O.T.R.I.P. Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter
Oyez I thought he was great and knew his stuff and was a great conservationist, it is strange that he handled so many dangerous species of animals and got killed by something generally considered safe. Oyez I guess it proves that even things we consider safe can be dangerous if we're not careful.

And Katz, you aren't worth my comment. He donated his time, love and millions of $$ to animals and saving wildlife, look into it before you embarrass yourself further. He gave much of his $$ to get the world into a better way of being for animals in general, plus raising so much awareness in the public, you two are idiots! > Did you know he held a little kid above an alligator once > to antagonize the gator,and then when he was ridiculed by the public he [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >>>> > >>>> > Oyez SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com THANK YOU!! First off, while I may not have agreed with all of his methods, he still did tos more to EDUCATE the world about the animals, both via his show and the Australia Zoo (which his father started). And on the baby-dangling incident: saw that - he did NOT hold "a little kid above an alligator once to antagonize the gator", the kid was his own infant son, Robert, and he was hugging the kid to his body, rather tightly, in his left arm; while with his right arm stretched way out he dangled a chicken (or chicken parts) to entice a CROC (not a gator), had released the chicken and was jumping back as the croc lunged for the chicken, as you can see in this series of photos: http://images.google.com/images?tab=vi&sa=N&ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&q=steve% 20irwin%20baby%20croc&rls=RNWE%2CRNWE%3A2006-11%2CRNWE%3Aen > you all get twisted stories... he didn't do it to antagonise, it > wasn't like that at all Kelly, get your sh.t straight. [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >>>>>> >>>>>> Oyez Lots of these animal shows ham it up for the cameras. It was not just Steve Erwin. I remember one of Animal Cops show on Animal Planet that they did on the Miami Animal police. One of the wildlife trappers had 2 small racoons in the closet to catch. He had a catch pole right by him but caught him by hand (Had a kevlar glove on) and in process looked like he was playing with a kitten the way he rough housed it. They were backed in the corner in closet and he easily could have used the catch pole but had to play to the camera. It is called ratings people. I do not agree with it but it is there. >First off, while I may not have agreed with all of his methods, he still did >tos more to EDUCATE the world about the animals, both via his show and the [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >this series of photos: >http://images.google.com/images?tab=vi&sa=N&ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&q=steve% 20irwin%20baby%20croc&rls=RNWE%2CRNWE%3A2006-11%2CRNWE%3Aen >> you all get twisted stories... he didn't do it to antagonise, it >> wasn't like that at all Kelly, get your sh.t straight.

Nope you did not state that in your other post take a look at what you wrote and how it would be interpreted "Did you know he held a little kid above an alligator once to antagonize the gator,and then when he was ridiculed by the public he exclaimed that he knows the animal well enough!" Never believe or repeat a rumor until you know facts ;) >you all get twisted stories... he didn't do it to antagonise, it wasn't like >that at all Kelly, get your sh.t straight. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >raising so much awareness in the public, >you two are idiots! Also in his native Austrilia he had a huge nature reserve that he opened a few years ago. >Did you know he held a little kid above an alligator once >to antagonize the gator,and then when he was ridiculed by the public he >exclaimed that he knows the animal well enough! He was not antagonizing the gator. He was basically teaching the kid look at the nice majestic animal....but do so carefully. As beautiful and majestic as they are they can also be very dangerous. >One less jackass who made a career out of harassing animals; the >Stingray he was swimming with obviously felt threatened. >Unfortunately, there will be about a thousand intellectual morons to >take his place. > >Sorry guys, but I just cannot feel sorry for this idiot.

No idea what you mean! >He was a great man, and the so-called "harrassment" you refer to has brought >the world a heightened awareness of the need to conserve our wildlife & >biodiversity. What are you doing about that!?! Ok, first off, harassment is spelled with 1 (one) 'r', not 2 (two). Secondly, I saw some of his shows; I would call poking and tail grabbing harassment. The term 'Crocodile Hunter' imply hunting for 'sport'. Crocodiles are mainly hunted for their skins, I have yet to so see anyone hunt one because they were hungry. Just look at googles 'sponsored adds' (below), they imply that lizards, ostriches, alligators and crocodiles are something to be hunted to make belts out of. >"Intellectual morons"??? No idea what you mean! An intellectual moron is someone who doesn't possess the intellectual capacity to see that animals are living beings; they have a right to live out their lives free of harassment and interference from human beings. They are not things, it's or property to be owned.

Give me a f.cking break! I don't care what his excuse was; feeding a crocodile while holding an infant in the other is NEVER a good idea. >What are you doing about that!?! I'm vegan, I don't eat or buy anything that was made from or at the expense of an animal.

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > alligators and crocodiles are something to be hunted to make belts out > of. Ooooh! a spelling lesson - I love those. Not that I'm going to go tit-for-tat, and correct your grammar, because you seem to be beyond that!. He took the term "crocodile hunter" because it suited his personality, and NOT because he is involved in making them into handbags... If you interpret a colloquial nickname to suit your own picture of a person, then I guess you will have these problems with lots of people. >>"Intellectual morons"???

They are not things, it's or property to be owned. Do you know the meaning of "oxymoron"?? As others have said, if he picks up a snake, or gets a croc to jump after a piece of meat, or touches an animal in a way you find offensive, that is just background noise, and simply your opinion. Are you a crocodile expert? Do you know what the crocodile is feeling? I'll stop asking questions, because you didn't see any need to answer the first one..... You building a house & driving a car is far more intrusive on all wildlife than anything you "saw the crocodile hunter do"! An on-topic example for you - Is owning a cat an infringement on its right to roam the savannah & catch wild mice? Sorry, another unanswerable question... > Comments from others... >>"Did you know he held a little kid above an alligator once [quoted text clipped - 55 lines] >> ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption >> =---- DITTO > He took the term "crocodile hunter" because it suited his personality, and > NOT because he is involved in making them into handbags...
