Which other popular celebrities death do you think is capable of generating worldwide sympathy like…?
I really liked Steve Irwin. He was a good showman and seemed to stick up for wildlife, although he did kinda mess with wildlife to make money and fame. He was famous for agitating wildlife until it would attack him. Again to make him famous and rich. Does it surprise me to see that he died at the whim of a wild animal. Absolutely not! Most all people loved him as well as me. But he was always flirting with death and usually at the stress of an animal. My heart goes out for those young children he left behind. I’m glad it wasn’t one of them that got killed. Because he did put them at danger at times> Like the time he flaunted his1 yr old child next to meat he was feeding a crock… I didn’t think that was cool at all. He was an amazing man…. Very brave and very likable but a little too crazy to think he would live forever. I’ll miss him and his shows. Thank you Australia for this interesting and brave man. I think he did do a lot for the well being of animals.
