It was bound to happen

Below is an article about the death of Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter. The way this guy wrecklessly approached animals and handled them I knew this was going to happen. Don't get it twisted though, I loved the Crocodile Hunter. I even watched the documentary of when he almost died from a croc getting a good chunk out of his leg a few years ago.

But isn't it more than a coincidence that this fool died from an aggavated animal attacking him?! I love animals and I love the preservation of animals. But people who mess with animals gets what they're looking for when they mess with them or try to interact with them too much. I'm one of those guys too... When I was small I got bit by a gerbel in daycare because I was messing with it. I got bit on the tip of my nose.

Animals don't know better and they don't have judgement, they have instincts. I watch "When Animals Attack" and I laugh. Because those people still haven't figured it out or they think that nothing bad is going to happen when you mess with mother nature.

I watched and read a little bit about this guy who used to up to Alaska in a bear reservation park. Needless to say he and his girlfriend were mauled to death by one of the bears that he wasn't as close with apparently. I mean there is video footage of this guy coming right up to these bears, even feeding them and petting them. He would even swim with them. If you want to read about it here's the link.

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin killed

BRISBANE, Australia - Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44.

Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when the accident occurred, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Irwin was diving near Low Isles near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of Brisbane.

A helicopter carrying paramedics flew to the island, but he died from a stingray barb to the heart, ABC reported on its Web site.

Telephone calls to Australia Zoo, Irwin's zoo in southern Queensland, were not immediately answered.

Irwin is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter," which was first broadcast in Australia in 1992 and has aired around the world on the Discovery channel.

He rode his image into a feature film, and developed the Australia Zoo as a tourist attraction.

Irwin had received some negative publicity in recent years. In January 2004, he stunned onlookers at his Australia Zoo reptile park by carrying his 1-year-old son into a crocodile pen during a wildlife show. He tucked the infant under one arm while tossing the 13-foot reptile a piece of meat with the other.

Authorities declined to charge Irwin for violating safety regulations.

Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken against him.
