Stingrays aren’t dangerous…..OOPS!

Posted in Rants on September 6th, 2006

How ironic that while filming a documentary explaining how everyone has been misled to believe that stingrays are dangerous……Steve Irwin, the croc hunter, gets killed by guess what….a stingray.  Sorry people but you play with fire and it’s just a matter of time until you get burned.  I must admit I always figured it would be a snake that put him in the ground.  As far as him helping me better understand wildlife goes….bullshit.  All I learned from him is that there are actually people stupid enough to mess with creatures that really don’t want to be messed with.  Every time he’s telling me how wonderful and beautiful something is it just so happens to be trying to kill him.  I hate to think of how many people have/will die from messing with animals just because they saw him do it.  And just for the record….it’s not okay to hold your 1 year old baby in your arms while feeding a crocodile…it’s actually just plain stupid.  Let’s see….Michael Jackson holding baby over balcony = bad….. Steve Irwin holding baby while feeding crocodile = okay.  I don’t think so…
