Steve Irwin----Did He Make A Difference?

It was one of my friends and we had a lengthy discussion about why Steve Irwin was not crazy. When I finished explaining to her about the big heart Steve had and that it was not craziness that had him doing what he did with the animals. But the desire to educate people to the ways of animals and that they had a right to be here just as much or more than we do. If you ever noticed when he dealt with animals even poisinois ones they didn't really go into attack mould. He respected them and when he noticed that they were getting agitated he would let them go on their way. His eyes shone when ever he was around and working with animals. I will never forget the first time I saw the program and he was dealing with snakes. Which by the way I never used to like. Watching Steve with the care and love when he was working with snakes I grew to understand about snakes. When he referred to them as pretty I just shook my head in amazement. A snake pretty give me a break. I turned around and mentioned to my husband that look at that guy he is saying snakes are pretty. When my husband told me to turn that crazy man off and put the television on another channel I told him no I wanted to watch this. To this day I don't know why I didn't turn the channel. Because at the time I watched my very first show with Steve I disliked snakes very much. Now I think they are very pretty and have some beautiful colors on them. Don't get me wrong I would not go out and search out a snake. But Steve opened my eyes on they to have a right to be here. He has given people the knowledge of the animal kingdom and still had far to go in educating people but I have no doubt in my mind that Bindi is going to be one of the greatest wildlife warrours just like her daddy was. As he was known to say, " Crocs Rule"

Thanks a lot for that long, informative comment and also the marking. I am sure that Irwin's work cannot simply die off, that Bindi would be capable of taking it off from where he stopped it.
