A badass naturalist who died doing what he loves to do, which is educate people about animals. It's very unfortunate that he died, especially by a freak accident with a sting ray. He owned animal planet.

A euphemism for “kill me” now that composting oneself after one’s death has become popular.

A legend. Died doing what he loved.

A great man who loved all animals. Ran the Austrailia Zoo. Was often a controversial figure. Murdered by a less-than-innocent stingray on September 4th, 2006

Great conservationist who lived his life trying to save all creatures. Died an untimely death today and he'll be missed dearly.

You people might want to do something about the chips on your shoulders. Good grief only neanderthals assume that because a person of a certain nationality talks in a certain way or does something to a certain animal then everyone else does it. Steve Irwin has just died numbnuts. He was a bloody legend in every sense of the word, who had a great passion for his promotion of the Australian environment and wildlife. I was shocked to read of his death this afternoon so will you flaming chip-on-the-shoulder ridden clowns do something good for yourselves and knock them off?

RIP Steve

A great Australian whose untimely death deeply saddened the entire world. Should have recieved Australian Of The Year Award and an Order of Australia medal for his environmental efforts. One of the few people we can truly call A GREAT AUSTRALIAN.
