I did! This is so sad! :bigcry: My husband thinks I'm nut, but he's not into animals as much as I am.

 

[leopardgecko95]

Man this is so horrible well felicia you cannot really blame your husband a lot of people don't understand the wonderful love that we give reptiles.

I haven't been able to stop crying either, this really sux!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved to watch him. But they are setting up the "crikey" fund to aid in conservation in his name. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2006/09/04/irwin_hum.html?category=animals&guid=20060904083000 there's the animal planet statement. There's tons of stuff about him circulating right now. But he was a great person, owned his first croc at the age of 9. That's dedication!!!!!!!! HE WILL BE SORELY MISSED

 

[leopardgecko95]

yes he will!

WOW.... what a terrible loss. He was a great man who we will miss.

I thought a croc would get him not a stingray. What a sad day. Not only for us adults that knew what he stood for, but for all the children that he brought the world of animals too in his shows.

I told my son today about it cause I knew he would here it and not believe anyone. After he calmed down he asked me if a croc got him.

Thats so sad. My nephew has been a huge fan for a long time. He reminds me a lot of Steve. He has that same enthusiasm about animals and I always Said he was going to grow up to be just like him lol. I wonder If he has heard about it. I'll have to give him a call. He is probably pretty upset.

 

[Jeff876533]

wow thats really sad. it seemed like he was invincible. It is good how he died what he loved doing, but also a freak accident at the same time. He wil b missed:main_no:

 

[dragonflyreptiles]

that is sad! Only 17 stingray deaths worldwide and he winds up being one of them.

 

[leopardgecko95]

He will be missed by reptile ethusiasts and other animal lovers around the world.

The world of animals and humans has truely lost a friend. Steve was an amazing showman and animal lover. God be with his family.

 

[Perefalcon]

know what bothers me most....back in 96, I was swimming on the barrier reef....I swam up to a small sting ray and touched it......................it didn't do a thing....they don't normally spook like that, they're a very calm docile animal

 

[LeosForLess]

that is sad! Only 17 stingray deaths worldwide and he winds up being one of them.
