Since this guy came onto the scene, I always figured he'd die a horrific death.  He just took too many chances with wild animals.  This doesn't mean he deserved it, but heaven knows this was bound to happen:

Steve was a fabulous entertainer, showman and knew his animals - all animals.  Rays are not the most vicious of creatures and their venom is painful, but not that life threatening.  This is one of those awful, unimaginable freak accidents.
He was filming on the Great Barrier Reef and the rays spine/barb pierced his chest and went straight through his heart.
 
My thoughts go to his family.  He was a great environmentalist and animal behaviour expert.  My children are really upset and his death brought home how precious life is.
 
Peace and Rapture

How sad, but unfortunately predicable. He was a great advocate for animals.




MrMister -> RE: 'CROCODILE HUNTER' CELEBRITY KILLED BY STING RAY (9/4/2006 5:28:15 AM)

Very, very sad thing to happen to such a remarkably well-respected and loved man, father, and husband. He surely will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

Always got the impression that he was living life to the full, enjoying it and adding pleasure to the life of those around him.

Well put, that was my impression as well and in doing so, he made a difference.

Yep lass he is, it's the Mother of all camels pissing in his food. I'll challange him to come over here and sprout his filthy mouthed crap at Australia Zoo  Havent seen mob action for a while not sure which croc pool they toss his scurvey carcus into, but it would be pure musuc to hear him scream his last breath....

Ya know IronBear...up till now I read your posts with interest and curiosity...after today, pity will be the best word I can conjur up about you.

Without debate, you're at best...pathetic.

(And by the way...use your spell checker...it's a handy little device).




IronBear -> RE: 'CROCODILE HUNTER' CELEBRITY KILLED BY STING RAY (9/4/2006 2:58:16 PM)

Am I supposed to give a damn? You have no clue how many of us feel. Are you so perfect that you can be so pathetic as to comment on the spelling of anyone who has made it public for a couple of years here that they have dyslexia?  ...




Chaingang -> RE: 'CROCODILE HUNTER' CELEBRITY KILLED BY STING RAY (9/4/2006 3:15:31 PM)

In my opinion, real nature conservancy is not about zoos. Zoos are antithetical to nature conservancy.

Just gives the bear a big ole hug and a soft kiss on the cheek with Lady Neets blessing I pray.

Hello LTR
 
Not that IB needs any defending, but I am offering my support.
If you look at another similar thread - you will understand why certain people are - rightly - upset and insulted by chains horrid belittling.  Whilst IB may be more of a gentlemen than I could ever be if I possessed a penis, and not naming names - I am not so polite.  Forums like this are designed for information and sharing of knowledge, not matter what the race, colour or creed of any person.  His continous racist, religiousist(is that a word[:D])  and anti ethnic remarks on different threads and personal remarks to posters that he decides is fair game for the week is becoming more boring with every passing moment.
 
I am actually surprised that the mods haven't pulled him up sooner.  Whilst free speech is a great asset, hate speech and talking out of ones own chocolate starfish is not.
 
Hes made threads, dedicated to a fun and dedicated conservationist become nothing more than 'look who yanking this chain' thread.
 
For those who have met Steve, he was a great guy... those who have known him...he will be missed.  As little respect as chain has shown himself for not caring about other peoples feelings, I doubt anyone would miss him when he goes.
 
Peace and Rapture

Exactly - which is why Steve spent all his earnings he made via his tv shows on purchasing land across australia and conserving them for future generations, saving plains, swamps and bogs, sacred land and deserts.
 
But of course... you only rely on your homepage ticker to give you all your credited information, don't you.

IB is not pathetic, he is someone who I admire.  And at least he has a heart.

I lost. My money was riding on a snake to take him out. Then again, he carried  anti venom with him. I knew he was safe around crocks since he always had his team with him. Atleast this documentry he was working on does show how dangerous sea life really is.

As per rules, the house always wins.

Wow. anceint gods speaking out on that one.

Two points here:

One: The stingray whips its tail over it's head similar to a scorpion which has the exposed barb free to penetrate the percieved menace.

Two: Just watching the mid afternoon news, the Cairns Police have viewed the tapes of the attack and his depth. It appears Steve was swimming in one and a half meters of water with the rays swimming on the bottom. One ray apparently got spooked and launched a defence killing Steve.
