Fuck PETA. They're a corrupt organization that spreads false information when they could actually be out there helping animals.
Like Steve Irwin did.

I think they're confusing luchador steve for the "animals unfortunately don't understand that im trying to help them and help people understand them so sometimes i must oppose their will to do something else"
He's wasnt just suplexing wombats for fun.

Nazca lines and other ancient constructs are also supposed to be left alone

I mean...they're not wrong. It's obviously a tragedy that he died, but wild animals should absolutely be left alone and I don't see how anyone can disagree with that.

Because the majority of the dude's career was working with rescued and rehabilitated animals. Not walking into the outback looking for animals to harass for no reason. The post is slanderous to someone that loved animals so much he litterally RAN A ZOO to protect, rehabilitate them and educate others about them. The people at PETA are just so used to their normal slacktivism that they get intimidated by real animal advocacy. So they slander a dead man. I disagree with that.

Replace "outback" with "ocean" and that's exactly how he died.
The Irwin family has obviously done a great deal of good in the world, but if he wasn't out there interacting with wild animals he would not have died, and it's not 'slanderous' to point out the truth.

It appears that our main disconnect, and I don't mean to assume so forgive me if I'm off base, but it seems to me that you don't see any difference between scientific/ educational reasons for working with wild animals in their own habitat (how Steve passed away) and just poking animals with sticks saying "Do something. " I respect your view points, but I think your perceptions of how he died and just how professional and caring he was with animals are off base.

The actions a person takes don't change just because they have an altruistic purpose, it's still the same action. He was interacting with a wild animal in its own habitat, he took a risk and it went bad.
I'm Australian, I'm well aware of the good work he's done.

Hey, I'm from Brisbane myself. That does sound like you Melbourne cunts though. You say that shit in a bar even today near where I live and you better be ready for a fight. And you know, I think the Crocodile Hunter was produced in the US, or by a US station at least.

Produced by Steve (and three others) for Animal Planet (American) with some specials on Discovery Channel and NBC (both also American), filmed mostly in Australia.
Second longest running program on any Discovery Communications network, behind MythBusters.

Why is everyone so down on pita? I kinda like pita, split them open, fill with your favorite meat or whatever. Kinda like a mediteranean burrito. Yum!
