Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hi everyone,………did you hear about the below news? I am so sad about this. I really like Steve Erwin, and watched his Croc shows up until he did a stupid thing IMHO of exposing his baby Bob to a croc on one of his shows. That was a little over the top for me. But, I still feel sad that this happened to him. His wife Terri is from Eugene, OR. Jackie from Oregon Stingray kills 'Croc Hunter' Steve Irwin 09/04/2006 Print this article E-mail this article CAIRNS, Australia, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Australia's internationally renowned " Crocodile Hunter, " Steve Irwin was killed Monday by a stingray barb to the heart as he was filming underwater. Irwin, 44, was struck in shallow waters as he was filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef called " Ocean's Deadliest " , The Australian reported. His crew pulled him aboard his research vessel, Croc One, summoned a rescue helicopter and sped to a meeting point 30 minutes away as they performed CPR on him, reports said. The Melbourne-born naturalist's " Crocodile Hunter " program was first broadcast in Australia in 1992 and is shown around the world on the Discovery cable network. Irwin also starred in movies and helped develop the Australia Zoo wildlife park, north of Brisbane, which was started by his parents Bob and Lyn Irwin. Marine experts said the stingray was about 8 feet across with a jagged, 10-inch barb on its tail. Irwin is survived by his U.S.-born wife, Terri, daughter Bindi, 8, and three-year-old son Bob.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yes we heard this first thing this morning. We enjoyed him also but I always said it was just going to be a matter of time until he was severely injured or worse. His children are so young. I think they said 8 and 2.

I heard she was on a separate vacation with the kids. I think they said Tanzania. I don't know if that's true though. I felt the same way about him putting the baby in danger.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I think that naturalist Jack Hannah gave him the best tribute: that he died doing what he loved, and that he was an avid environmentalist and advocate of animal rights. Indeed, he will be missed by many! Love, n SAD NEWS Hi everyone,………did you hear about the below news? I am so sad about this.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Jackie, he had a pretty firm grip on the baby and explained to the press that as the child was LIVING around this sort of thing, that both parents had de cided to start SAFETY training YOUNG! He was NOT investigated for it. Sting Rays are usually benign; this is a very RARE incident--sure glad that it was not a crocodile, though!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 n,…….whether he was trying to introduce his baby to the wild as part of his training to live amongst that sort of thing, was IMHO irresponsible concerning the baby’s age, No matter how much of a grip he had on him. I watched that program, and his baby wasn’t even 6 mo’s old. It was a publicity stunt, and even though he gave the explanation that he did, I still thought it was poor judgment on his part. I’m all for teaching children about the dangers of their environment, but not until they can understand it. 6 mo’s was a little young I thought. I will still miss him, and I didn’t harbor bad feelings towards him, and I too applauded him for starting the Australia Zoo, and all the wonderful work he had done for all the animals. I felt sincere heartfelt sadness when I heard the news of his passing.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yes, it is very sad. I started watching his programs practically ever since they were televised, and enjoyed them so much. He was so funny in his escapades, and it was hard not to feel like you knew him your whole life. I saw one show when he was with his daughter Bindi, and the two of them were so sweet together. His enthusiasm, and love for what he was doing was contagious.
