I literally don’t care if the Irwin family wins everything from now until the sun goes down. They deserve it.

This is such a depressing time to be alive. We are exposed to more hate and more tragedy than ever before. We grandstand celebrities and politicians who are cruel and unusual. We give millions of dollars of likes and attention to people doing literally nothing but cursing at a screen. We watch the life be sucked out of billions for the success and selfishness of a dismal few.

There are SO FEW people in this world who are as wholly good and wholly impactful as the Irwins. Who have dedicated so much of their lives, over entire generations, to making this planet and its ecosystems a better place. They do so humbly, kindly, pour their money back into their foundations, and work harder to spread their message every day that passes. They are fighting a LOSING battle, but they do it passionately and bravely.

If you are not as much an animal lover, or an Earth, I can see why they may seem overhyped to you. And I don’t know, maybe in Australia, there is some controversy about them or something. Please educate me if so.

But a family to pour as much love and energy as they do, every single day, in trying to make this world a better place for all of us INCLUDING THOSE who cannot vote or pay for things, they deserve the world. Especially two children who had to watch their father die.
