Steve Urwin
poorman:
absolute loony,
but all in the good sense, so much passion in what he did and what he believed in, he's done so much for wildlife and the education of us mere mortals.
Thoughts go out to his family and friends.
R.I.P steve, diamond geezer

--- Quote from: "thermidorthelobster" ---"Attacked by stingray" according to Radio 4 news all day.
My first thought was, Steve must have REALLY p***ed him off that time...
Secondly, stingrays don't go round attacking people, all they do is defend themselves from interference. I sincerely hope there's not an anti-stingray backlash from this from well-meaning but underinformed Steve fans. It would be rather ironic to say the least.

i must say i had the same thought when i heard, there,s only so many times you can poke/annoy the scary fish/poisonous snake etc before they get narked and have you :shock:
but saying that he was an absolute joy to watch and my kids love his programs
UDTrev:
A sad loss of a unique wildlife presenter. :cry:

He had such a wonderful animated style, a certain boyish charm, and was a cracking bloke. I feel so sorry for his family... and also for the rest of us who enjoyed his way of presenting wildlife... what a damn shame... he may have played with fire at times and an animal related death was always on the cards.. but so, so sad...
the loon:
the guy was brilliant.
He did alot for conservation and was a great charector and personality.
Its murphy's law though really apparently he is only the second recorded person ever to be killed by a stingray.
When you see what he normaly gets up to with other animals considered far more dangerous and with far worse reputations then this happens.
He will be sadly missed
