Re: Crocodile Hunter killed

I've never been impressed with this fellow. The way that he and

others tease reptiles to inspire audiences to take an interest in

them is not good.

Reptiles are cold blooded which is why they move so slow. Teasing

them and goading them to engage in any sort of activity means an

immediate conversion of mass to energy and the conversion itself also

takes energy. Ultimately, it is stressful and exhausting to the

animals. There are better ways to conjour up interest in animals than

the way he used.

What happened to him is one of the risks he ran when hed provoked

animals like he did.

This was bound to happen one day. He has some good reviews and such,

but you can only tick off animals for so long before something like

this happens.

I forgot to say that I think that he exemplified most non-Aspies.

Once Aspies' attenion has been gotten, most Aspies are capable of

seeing the beauty of most animals when they are in their natural

states.

Non-Aspies seem to only be able to appreciate the more sensational

apsects of animals and animal behavior. Thus only the interesting

animals are usually highlighted on these animal shows, and the

animals themselves are generally tormented to a degree where their

exciting behaviors can't help but manifest themselves in abundance.

As has shown with his stories and pictures in the photos

section, everyday animals from his backyard can be even more

captivating than flustered animals on nature shows.

Especially when these backyard animals are viewed undisturbed.

That's why it bugs me when non-Aspies cannot understand why we stare

at an animal or object for a seemingly ridiculously long period of

time. They don't realize that one of the things we are doing is

seeing the animal and object in ways that they cannot.

My husband saw how ridiculously reckless this guy was and said, " I

predict he'll be dead within the year. " That was about 6 months ago.
