Why Steve Irwin Got What He Deserved

Fucking With Animals:

I am rather appalled at the outpouring of concern over this Steve Erwin character, yes he was likeable but truth is he was a moron who was doing a disservice to the world and I am amazed he lived as long as he did.

You see I am a true nature lover, an outdoorsman and someone who understands animals.

In nature, and that includes underwater as well as on land you are one of three things at any given moment. You are predator, or you are prey or you are irrelevant. Many larger animals like stingrays, manatees, porpoises and the like have few if any natural predators, to them a human is just another animal so long as it isnt acting in a threatening manner. They simply prefer to just keep a safe distance.

A few animals will intentionally stalk and kill a human, crocodiles, some sharks under the right circumstances and polar bears.

Animals dont have feelings, they don't have compassion and they don't want to be cuddled or loved or ridden. Outside of domesticated animals all animals see any attempt at contact as an immediate threat.

They do understand sex, hunger and fear and they will kill in response to the last two, mother nature has given them a myriad of way to protect themselves and every single one will do so when it feels fear.

Mr Erwin was guilty of being a threat and he got what was long overdue. But moreso than that he was guilty of being stupid and of projecting human qualities onto animals and in doing so to lure idiots all over the world into believing that most of the world around them is filled with animals that are perfectly fine with human contact. A sort of world filled with stuffed animals that you can touch and ride and cuddle with.

That ain't how it works.

Your dog or cat only tolerates your contact because in years of domestication it now fully depends on you, it is no longer a part of nature but is your slave. It cannot live without you.

As a lifelong outdoorsman and avid sportsman I grew up understanding these things and as a predator I never take what I do not use and everything else, I leave alone. If you go into the woods or the water remember your place. Look, don't touch.
If you need to feel superior to an animal by riding it or touching it go home to your horse or your dog, otherwise just observe and learn and leave only your footprints.

If you hug a crocodile, or a stingray or shark or whatever and you end up dead...don't expect me to feel sorry for you, had I been that stingray I'd have killed the dumb mother fucker too.

Hear hear.

Hi...Sig spot established

As a diver, I have a healthy respect for stingrays and know to stay the fuck away. I'm fucking scared of them. Irwin was a moron who got what he had coming, regardless of how common the attacks are or are not.

What Libertine said..

The guy's dead, just let him rest in peace.
And if you're going to insult him and are so self-absorbed that you feel you not only need to post on your web site, but here as well ... at least spell his name right.

sad.

Maybe so but I am a LIVE idiot...as oppossed to the one that was stung by the stingray and has now assumed room temperature.

The real tradgedy is that the stingray was forced to defend itself from something it couldn't even eat after the fact.

You dumb shit, disrespectful son of a bitch.
Shut the fuck up.

As a true nature lover, HA, why didn't you state your high and mighty thoughts while the man was alive. He cared about animals. Sure, he was a showman, but he opened avenues of discovery to the masses.

What the hell do you do except sell porn and act like the asshole you are.

You repulse me.:321GFY

Women don't have opinions, sorry.

he didn't open avenues of discovery he misrepresented nature to the masses. If you like the taste of his kool aid go ride a stingray...and when you die I will call you a dumb mother fucker too

"got what he deserved" huh? Wonder what karma you're calling uppon yourself?

another mike south talking out of his ass thread

Positive karma you mean?

Lemming much? Ever thought for yourself? Ever not followed the crowd because it's popular? Ever formed your own opinion?

another mike south talking out of his ass thread

another mike south talking out of his ass thread

OK tell ya what...lets see if someone can poiunt out one thing I stated that isnt correct

dang!!11

You are a *15 minutes of fame* cretin.

Even on GFY, assholes can go too far. You have crossed that line. The man was loved by many, and he has left behind a wife and two children who loved/love him dearly.

My God, how crude are you. Keep your sick thoughts on your blog. You sound like one of the white trash mountain men I knew growing up in the MidWest. You don't care who gets hurt by your thoughtless comments.

Sleep well tonight, you piece of shit.:(

no one deserves to die - NO ONE.

He didn't hurt anyone, he wasn't abusing children or elderly - he brought awareness to millions and laughter which is more than can be said for many here. Just because you don't like his tactics doesn't mean you should shit upon the dead - give your ego a rest and wake up your human side. He had a wife and kids - oh - but for the sake of getting some post counts and people hitting your blog - take advantage of the suffering of others to promote yourself

I loved that guy. We all knew that would happen like that as far as he played with death all the time. He got child and wife left.

duplicate

What makes you such a real outdoorsmen? And did you ever consider dickweed that the only way you KNOW so much about animals is because people like this guy risk something to figure it out. Douche

Your statement: "Animals dont have feelings"

Hard proof that you are wrong: http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s1497634.htm

I could go on and provide more examples, as well as other false and incoherent statements you made, but instead I'll just refer you to the first post I made in this thread.

Hey at least I will sleep...and wake up without having left the people who love me behind because I felt some need to feel superior to a stingray by touching it.

You want to blame me that his widow and his kids are without him go right ahead...and while you are at it kindly point out one thing I have stated that is incorrect....If it had happened to a retarded kid who didnt know any better I might feel bad for the kid, but dumb as he was he wasn't retarded and he knew better...or at least he should have.

Mother nature doesn't like to be fucked with.

mike south is now on my ignore, good job!

I know so much because I have spent my entire life hunting, fishing diving I didn't learn anything from this guy and if you watched and bought into his nonsense you didnt learn anything either.

Steve Irwin did more for conservation and the well-being of animals than any of you will do in 100 lifetimes. Saying that he had it "coming" so you can get a few pageviews and possible clicks to your sig is very, very sad. You roll the dice driving everday, does that mean that you 'have it coming' if you or a close family member dies in a car accident?

whether he was an idiot and got what he deserved or not... one thing he has up on you this...


he was rich, famous, and loved by many


you... well you're just a piece of shit porn peddling "i'll talk smack about someone whos dead" shitstain in the underwear of society... you will never amount to ANYTHING he did, yet you still think you're better then him

we laugh at you.

tell ya what ...go find you a wild elephant or a chimp and give it a big hug for me.

LOL I love idiots...

i am joinning to the words. Yes.
And noone deserves detah.

Bravo.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Good for you. Loving yourself is a very important step in learning to cope with your mental handicap.

You know how to tell when a woman is about to say something intelligent? She starts with, "A man once told me..."

Yuo deserve death when you earn it.

Steve earned his death and he did deserve it, I'd lay odds even he would cop to that

You're an idiot, love to see you say he deserved it to his wife and kids, or pretty much anyone in Australia for that matter.

What a fucking pussy you must be to say some shit like that from the safety of your computer. Your parents must be proud.

Id say he had it coming, but by no means did he DESERVE it. Do you know what DESERVE means?

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to understand that when you intentionally fuck with a wild animal and it attacks you in defense of itself, you deserve what happened to you even if you die.

They are animals, they arent on this earth for your amusement and they don't give a fuck about your love and understanding (or lack thereof)

If you are of the belief that these animals just want to be your friend, please, by all means go out there and emulate Steve...

Or as a wise man once said "Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms"

yes I do

when you provoke a wild animal and it attacks you to defend itself, you DESERVE what happened to you....EARNED it even

your a dumbass, without him australia would have had asia's policy on animals. kill kill kill, let them get exticnt and let humans change evolution.

He was someone who helped animals. I didnt fuck around with crocadiles to get them to snap at him, he was helping them.

my god what a fucking dumbass.

you say that he was a threat and got what was "long overdue"
but at the same time you say animals are creatures who go out to kill and who are animals with no emotions etc

hmm good one shit face.

I bet the crocodiles told the sting rays, go kill steve irwin! we will give u 500 bucks!

the stingray killed him in fear

he did not kill him for food
infact i doubt sting rays even touch human flesh.

fuck me, a hunter you call yourself? go back to school kid

For anyone getting the "wife and kids" into the story... being a dad means responsibility.. and doing stupid life threatening shit WHILE being responsible for a child (i wont mention the wife in this case) makes you as bad as a dead beat father

Does anyone recall having him having his baby in his hand while FEEDING an alligator by hand? Thats fucking insane.

Scotty...try actually reading what I wrote

I seriously doubt you know any wisemen. By the way, human beings are animals, therefore all your generalized statements about animals are false.

You're just an attention whore who doesn't have skills to get noticed, so you have to say some stupid bullshit so people will pay attention to your lame ass.

He knew exactly how dangerous these animals were. He felt he could predict them, and read their body language well enough to manipulate them withuot being harmed. Which is something he truley did do well as hes been studying the animals his entire life. Personally, i dont care either way, but your article retarded. He knew they were out to kill him by nature.

Please change your "Location" to something else, I'm embarassed for all of us Canadians that you are one of us!

:Oh crap

You may have the mental capacity of an animal, but don't drag the rest of us down with you.

while I agree that humans are animals, my point is that animals are not human

there is a difference

LOL good one Jason

Yes he should have shot all his shows remotely from at least 20 feet away from any animal. He should never have captured crocs to relocate them away from people or tag them for research.

That would have been sure to accomplish his mission of increasing awareness about conservation to millions much faster rather than being an up close and personal entertaining character for the past 15 years or more.

He should be convicted posthumously of genocide. Look at all the millions of people that after watching his "distorted" views of nature, immediately went out looking for venomous critters to fondle, crocodiles to wrestle etc and subsequently were killed.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiight :error
