Steve Irwin "Croc Hunter" is dead

[her209]

Dang... that sucks.

 

[walrus]

I aways thought he'd die young, I thought it'd be a snake.
Feel bad for his young kids.

 

[NaOH]

i wonder if they killed the stingray after.

 

[kindest]

r.i.p.

he was a good man.

Please, that sounds like the absolute last thing he would have wanted.

Also, remember that these people love wildlife; they are not like some of those animal control people who shoot or gas first and ask questions later.

Anyone remember that commercial where he gets bit by a deadly snake and he cant get the antivenom or whatever? Kinda ironic considering.

Anyways, although Im not one to take another mans death as humourous, I cannot make myself feel sorry for someone who continuously put himself in harms way and dies in the process. If someone goes freefalling hundreds of times and then his chute doesnt open, hes a dumbfuck. If you go running with the bulls in pamplona and get trampled, youre a moron, good riddance.

Steve did a lot of good things, but when you have a family there are more important things in life than seeing how close you can get to a pissed off Rhino or if you can make a Lion eat meat out of your hands. So he paid the price and now his children will grow up without a father. Feel sorry for his children, at the least you should be looking at Steve as a fool that took one too many risks, no matter how benign it seemed.

Sad news, he did much for wildlife conservation and gave at least myself some education. R.I.P. Croc Hunter.

Lol. This guy is only famous for sticking his finger up angry animal's backsides- hell, they even made a southpark episode about it. I'm sure he was doing the same with the stingray.

No it wasn't a metaphor used by intelligent people, you really believed that Southpark episode. Asshat.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I loved that guy.

MORAL OF THE STORY IS DONT MESS WITH THINGS THAT CAN KILL YOU......

im sorry but what a jackhole

Stingrays. Aren't. Deadly. Animals. It was a fluke.

apparently they are.

 

[mobobuff]

[Obligatory "Stingrays On A Plane" joke]

But he will be missed . He died doing what he loved.

 

[poopygood]

RIP

He put himself in harms way so we could see the beauty of wildlife.

Sad...very sad.

Wow. If everyone had such an adventurous and pioneering spirit as yourself our species wouldn't have lasted long enough to walk upright.

Personally, my hat's off to anyone that is brave enough to risk their life for the betterment of humanity. Whether it's journalists covering dangerous stories, test pilots hunting out the flaws of new technology, or Steve Irwin educating millions of people about wild animals.

RIP.

 

[rise]

personally, i don't see what the big deal is. yeah, RIP and

and and all that.

thing is, he chose to do what he did. hearing him elevated to this pedestal with things like "steve: australia will miss you" and "his wife was from my hometown". who cares? he died. will it matter to any of you tomorrow?

betterment of humanity? how about the betterment of his children? that would be more important to me than some tv show. i know i'd be at a real loss without seeing him wrangle crocs or pull lizards from a tree. real life lessons there.

entertaining, yes. betterment of humanity, hardly.

 

[Chrono]

Good lord. That is sad. Now I'm even more depressed.

I consider educating millions of viewers to qualify as an example of bettering humanity, yes. And if he died in a car wreck or a plane crash would that somehow make him any less dead to his family?

Personally, I never liked his shows (he was too hyper for me), but he was passionate about his work and his showmanship allowed him to reach an audience that typically would skip past a nature show.
