Eclipse Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 He was one of those interesting characters on TV, but man what are the odds of getting a barb to the heart? Crikey is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzle Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 This is very,very sad news. He was truly one of a kind. As corny as it may sound, the world is a lesser place without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest $iLk Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I was surprisingly saddened by this loss as well. He was a very genuine person, he didn't want people or animals to get hurt in any of his shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzle Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Keep an eye on the Discovery/Animal Planet site. They will be posting links for donations if anyone cares to, I know I will.

bc1328 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Donations for what? Their bank account is bigger then yours will ever be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolferz Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 quote:Originally posted by bc1328: Donations for what? Their bank account is bigger then yours will ever be. Many people will wish to send condolences to the family. This is usually requested by the family, to be in the form of a donation to a worthy cause, since they are definitely not destitute. In Mr Irwin's case, it'll probably be for wildlife conservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HorseloverFat Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I thought it was cool that the P.M. offered a State funeral. But the family chose not to accept. And I agree with Grizzle & Wolferz on donations. We are quickly trashing this planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Irwin was a true conservationist, he believed in what he was doing and had a genuine love for the animlas he dealt with. But, his main thrust was to educate the public about animals, not have government create a bunch of regulations. He believed that the people themselves and owners of property were and are the true conservationists, and can do far more to protect the animals on their property then any government thought of doing. His goal was educating people about the animals, and instill his love for them into all of us. NOT force it on us via government. Which is another reason I am going to really miss that crazy Aussie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
