The font is really crappy, I didnt know it'd shrink when I uploaded it so fullscreen might be better to view it as 😬
Plus its a bit big in size 😮
And for some reason the fade ins are taking ages😬
Maybe Ill upload it properly in Quicktime format tomorrow for better viewing...

Killing a creature that probably didn't know what he was doing? It reacted out of instinct. I don't think anyone knows the full story, or at least I don't, but the ray probably was startled by Irwin and reacted as any other animal would do; by attacking.
Exactly. It's not exactly its fault is it really? Well obviously it is but it thought that he was a threat so it's obviously going to defend itself. It's nature.
But yeah obviously its extremely sad and horrible 🙁 R.I.P.

It's a difficult situation, makes me feel as though no one should take his place because the animals are wild. But then we'll never be able to learn about them and will remain ignorant.
Which brings me to the question; do you think humans want to learn about all the creatures on the planet for reasons beneficial to the animals, or because we want to rise above the ignorance? Because if it's the latter then it's for selfish reasons and it's probably best we learn from this incident and let the wild animals be.

I think he wanted to learn to benefit the animals, many others don't, thats what is so wrong about Steve getting killed, a lot of the crocs and other animals were at his zoo because of humanitarian reasons and for breeding projects, i really don't agree with the idea of zoos but i can understand what he was trying to do.
