STEVE IRWIN, BRAVE OR STUPID?

Bravery comes in to it. I'd say he was very passionate and loving and he wanted to share his knowledge with the world. I have learned many things from him and he will be greatly missed. Why do the good die young?

In my opinion, I don't want to sound cold hearted and say he was stupid for doing what he did, but he hugged a stingray. If he hadn't pulled the stinger or whatever it was out of his heart he would probably still be alive. All they had to do was cut the stinger off and then rush him to a hospital. It could have been taken care of from there.

It was an accident. Steve Irwin loved animals. We learned a lot of things from his researches. But as there is always an amount of risk involved in these kind of work, we lost him due that fateful event. But what worries me is a recent report which suggest that in several sting-rays have been killed after that incident. I don't know whether that is the case, but if it is true than it will not give a boost to Steve's vision and it will a mockery to Steve's work.

Irwin was a man with a goal... and that was to show a world that almost all of us were afraid to get close to... I liked his shows and admired him for what he was doing and also for the passion he had for those animals!!!

what happened to him was just bad luck because just one out of thousands stingray attack are harmfull, and he would never do anything stupid that promotes do dangerous things on animal planet because thats against their rules, things like go after a crocodille takes a lot of planning because if he gets in danger im sure they would have to shoot the croc to save him

I think each person has their own mission in life. His mission was to touch, feel, and understand the life of the animals he came into contact with. And because of this, he built habitats and tried to provide safe shelter. It's not MY mission, but I totally respect his. I wouldn't want to be face to face with a gator or snake, but he did because of his great love. It's not a maatter of being stupid...it's about his heart....and taking ANY risk to turn people's opinion about wildlife. I respect this man as no other because he did this without personal gain....only to help those he loved. He was true to his mission and that makes him a hero.

He was brave definitely. You may just want to turn off your caps in your posts.

I think he was brave, everyone have some passion inlife and he had that dangerous one But I wanted to know how did he die Did he die facing some dangerous animals or some other reason

I think he was really trying to teach people about exotic creatures that they wouldnt normally encounter, brave in some ways and cocky in others, not stupid.He put his incredible energy into a focued lense.

I don't think he was stupid. I think he was a victim of an accident. I saw the special with his wife, and I cried. I feel for her and her kids. But it looks like his daughter will come out in the future. I think she already has a show on animal planet. Rip: Crocodile Hunter.

brave.

welll mostly dumb....but sligtly brave tooooo

Simply thoughtless dare-devil.

I think he did some what you could call stupid things but he loved what he did and all he wanted to do was teach people about animals. He was brave though because I know I would never handle some of the animals he handled and do some of the things he did.

I always thought the man was totally crazy, especially when he dangled his baby over the crocodile. He didn't have to kiss a poisonous snake for me to know that it was dangerous. I'm sorry he got killed, but it's probably the way he wanted to go. Otherwise he'd have found a safer profession.

Brave and very smart. He knew what he was doing, it was his carer. I agree very much with you and am saddened when people think otherwise.

he was a brave guy...he loved nature and its creatures...he was a great man...who give up his life to spread the thought of conservation........

I totally loved Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter... He was my hero by bringing wildlife so close to those of us that would never be able to see those kinds of animals... He was a great man, husband, father, and son... He was loved by so many people and I loved him too... I grieved for a whole month when he got killed by the stingray and I still miss him when I see his TV shows on... He had such a joy for living... He will be missed for such a long time...

I believe tht he was stupid, I know others thought he was brave. But I know better.

i think stupid
