Message: <blockquote data-quote="Duke Red" data-source="post: 1633425" data-attributes="member: 16085">Good an ya infernaL for clearing the issue:top: Before I left for work this morning, I managed to tune into the Discovery Channel and they were playing a programme dedicated in his memory. It was entitled "Confessions of Steve Irwin" or something to that effect. It's basically an interview session with the bloke and questions were asked about the contraversies in his life amidst other more positive issues. There was also a part near the end where they showed footage of how Steve Irwin helped to save a man's life. Here is the story:Amidst all the well wishes he and his family have received, there have also been a section of people that have attacked him and show a lot of disrespect by basically saying he deserved what he got. Let's look at some of the reasons shall we?1) Holding his newborn son, Robert in one arm while feeding a live crock with the otherAs Steve said, "Given the environment that they live in, he would have been a bad parent had he not exposed his son to crocs at an early age". Afterall, when would it be a good age to do so? After his son has heard about crocs from friends just as we have? After he has developed an inherent fear for them?In all his honesty, Steve said he did it in a controlled environment which he did, in the Australian Zoo. The scene was rehearsed and personnel were on standby. 3 camera crews captured the scene; 1 decided it was not news worthy and dropped it, 1 decided to slot it in at the end of the news segment as it was fun and only the 3rd decided it was breaking news because of the particular camera angle the got. Steve has dealt with crocs all his life and so has his dad before him, who understands crocs better than him? Do you think he'd intentionally endanger the life of his son? I liken it to someone saying going on a lap with Michael Schumacher is more dangerous than driving on a highway during rush hour. Is this true? Surely not. It is more perceived fear than it is about actual fear. 2) Causing distress to snakes, crocs and all the other animals he's come in contact withThere animals are living in constant distress given the amount of progress that is happening world wide which is why Steve started his TV shows in the first place. He wanted to highlight how animals were being affected by human 'dominance'. If he does cause them a little distress, it's all for a good cause. It's not like he butchered any of them. When parents bring up their kids, don't they sometimes cause the kid some distress as well? By scolding them and punishing them? Isn't it mostly for a good cause? To teach them to be wiser, smarter? In Steve's case, it is to educate us, the public on the plight of these animals and how we can better understand their behaviour. This is all assuming these animals were in distress in the first place. I find it appaling that people can use a couple of examples to crucify a man especially after all the good he's done. Sure he's not perfect, none of us are.</blockquote>
