Very sad and very shocking. First thing I said when I found out was "Atleast he died doing what he loved". So unfortunate.
RIP Steve, you'll be missed

Strange huh. A Kiwi caring so much about the death of a Australian.
Steve Irwin was a great bloke, no question about it. Sure he was embarrassing and over-enthusiastic, this is where most of the critisism comes from, Australians didn't like him much because he was an embarrassing representitive of Australia, and New Zealanders didn't like him because he was Australian.
The point Ramains: Steve Irwin was an amazing guy, and it is a tragedy that he is dead. Although he was very much a celebrity and a household name, (plus he was in that awful film,) he was completely and utterly down to earth. You couldn't be more down to earth than Steve Irwin. He walked his over-excited talk, and he did some amazing things. He was a televised personality, but 90% of what the man really did was all off camera, his conservation efforts for Australia and the world were phenominal.
Creating centers for animals who had been hit by cars, saving every kind of animal imaginable, raising awareness for conservation, being a figurehead for various environmental movements - the list goes on. He was a strong advocate for wildlife.
His larakin attitude and incredible enthusiasm earned him both respect and scourn, but it never mattered to Steve anyway. The guy would give a Hedghog CPR, (I relate this to the fact when he filmed in New Zealand once he was incredibly excited to see a Hedgehog,) or save a deadly snake from a lady with a broom. He wasn't just a one-dimentional celebrity, he wasn't just an act, he was genuine, and whether Australia wants to admit it or not, a bloody excellent Aussie bloke.
Steve mate, you will be missed.

That would be the last thing he'd want is the stingrays to have a bad name, Not everyone understands that the stingray acted in self defence it felt harmed by somthing so it defended its self so in all respect dont hate the stingrays and in the end the sea life is what the documentary was about aswellMacca wrote:
