Greer Irwins Death Was Animal Worlds Revenge Message Board and Comments

I think that Irwin was great. He showed you the amazing world of animals like no one could. I think the things that Greer said were wrong. Irwin was protecting animals and not being a menace to them. Many of the animals that he helped would have been killed if not for.

Irwin made a career out of antagonizing frightened wild animals, which is a very dangerous message to send to kids. If you compare him with a responsible conservationist like Jacques Cousteau, he looks like a cheap reality TV star. .

Germaine Greer had no right to say what she did, regardless of when she decided to say it. Greer makes a living out of badmouthing things she knows nothing about. What a sad, sorry life. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/237555/steve_irwin_vs_germaine_greer/

I am totally sickened by the verbal attacks being made on Steve Irwin. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but surely there must be a time and place for everything? For Greer to slam him straight after his death is just inexcusable. He was a passionate conservationist who loved animals, a lovable larrikan who would talk to anyone but above all he was a loving son, husband and father. Its true that "what you see is what you get" with Steve - he was the same great aussie bloke whether on camera or off - he never pretended to be anything different - which is probably about the only thing he has in common with Greer - "what you see is what you get" RIP Steve - Your family is in my thoughts.

Hang his corpse over the croc pond, just out of their reach so we can watch them jump for it! That's what Steve always did with them. BRAVO to the brave stingray who stood up to Steve and erased him from the planet. The stingray spared future innocent creatures from Steve's chasing, taunting and terrorizing! This is TRULY nature in action, one creature killing another creature -- the stupid creature lost, thus removing our gene pool from a weak moron. Steve's dad is partially to blame for his son's death, having taught him to WRESTLE gators. What a stupid thing to teach a son, he may as well have taught him to smoke crack cocaine, it's just as dangerous! It's mean to the gators. LEAVE WILD CREATURES ALONE!

Regarding all you assholes out there,who are slagging out Steve Irwin, your time will come! You and that gobs**te greer person will one day realise the importance of the work Steve has done. Until then keep your infantile comments to your useless, worthless s**tty little selves!

So Yahpete, you have never had a Big Mac in your life? Never had a roast dinner....? Are you saying Steve killed the chicken's and cows with his own hands, because I heard he would tear up, when he had a sick animal in his zoo.... what about animals eating other animals? Are you against that? Penguins love fish..... do you blame them? This is crazy.... give the poor guy a break. He is deceased! He did so much for animal life, not only in Oz but all over the world... what more do you want??? All species to be Vegans? Lennon would have thought Steve was great fun, and cool.... why bring Lennon into it? Greer and he are nothing a like in any way! He would have thought her to be a judgemental snob and a drag... Shall we all remember Greer's appearance on Celbrity Big Brother? Oh and Steve was just a media hungy "larakin"...hypocricy...

Wow, you mean the cows and chickens that they eat anyways. I mean come on now you are just trying to find ways to discredit him aren't you? Crocs eat those things in the wild too, and I know I know you are going to say well they are livestock on farms and ranches well hello wild animals can get to those places too. You are funny, what should the alligators starve? They are in the zoo for a reason, either they were removed from the wild because they were injured or they were born in the zoo. Seriously you are insane.

Oh and "YAHPETE" I guess you are a veegan then huh? If not then you should shut up HYPOCRITE! If you are a veegan then I hope you enjoy an early death from lack of vitamins and nutrients. You know the teeth in human mouths are made to eat meat.

Germaine Greer has topped John Lennon's comment about Christ in 1966. I would not like to be in her shoes. Keep in mind that Steve Irwins crew fed cow and chicken to the crocs in his zoo. Cow and chicken are not endangered species yet I believe they suffer when put to death by humans. So tell me what is conservation all about?

"the Terrible One" "My Two Cents" Yes well as far as I am concerned she has not done anything for ME. Seems like she does things for fame. I am sure it won't be long until she writes a book and profits from Irwin's death. I do feel wrongly about circus' it is sad what those animals go through. Zoo's however are an educational tool and most zoo's profit goes right back towards the animals. And, about your question "would I appreciate if you barged into my home and man handled me?" That is just an absurded question and not really sure why you would think that is a good comparision to Steve Irwin going into the wild and educating the world on its animals. As for the feminist world, do you think that all women think like her? YOU ARE VERY WRONG. I had not even known of this woman before she so rudely made these comments. I am personnaly happy that I am known as caring and compassionate and loving. WHATEVER she has her beliefs, everyone does but I am not sure why that has anything to do with her bad mouthing a deceased man in a time of mourning and so that his family can hear and read these comments. Do feminists disagree with animal conservation too? Stick to what you supposedly know best and leave this man and his family alone.

Hey 2 cents, if your so passionate and beleive yourself to be so correct, in what you say about Steve Irwin, and the origins of the Australian population....why dont you give us your name, istead of using a synonym like "2 cents" ...? what are you? 48 cents short of 50 cent? Scared? I think so.... Well thats one thing you CANT say about Steve, and the majority of Australians. Your comments are so uneducated and racist, its frightening that there are people out there like you... and by the way "Mr condradict Cent" , your hero Greer is Australian. Then you go on to say we Aussies are bad seeds? Wow... racist, uneducated about the factual benefits of Irwins countless achievements for safety, conservation and awareness for animals, and people encountering animals that may attack ....not to mention Australian tourism benefits aiding many lives...but contradictory too! Your on fire! Good on ya mate. The only bad seed here is you. Who do you think you are to speak so ill of a deceased man, during this terrible time for his family, and say such innacurate things about a nation's population? Pick up a history book, and compare the amount of convicts sent over, and the population of Australia now, and the variety of nationalities that make Australia what it is today...(over 50). The only thing you have proven with your sensationalist claims to provoke a reaction probably for kicks, is how ignorant you are, and sub-human. Get a life, and stop using Steve's fantastic one for your own sick thrills....

I have no clue who this idiot Germaine Greer is, but to say what she did about a recently passed human being, regardless of their occupation and passions, is PURE EVIL. Do not give this "idiot" the publicity she is SO clearly begging for with this filth. Where is your SOUL woman? You are a direct product of the Devil and your kharma is going to eat you alive and destroy you from the inside out.

G.G. & 2bits err cents are sad souls that can't find blessings in anything. How dare you insult the mental capcity of people that mourn someone who was always finding the best in everyone and everything around him. No I didn't know Steve personaly, but he certainly made his character clear to those that have eyes unclouded. You say he should never have given aide but let nature take its course. Have you read the bible? If you need an operation to live should it be left to nature to take its course? If you say that is different, (please do!) the there is no real concern in you for the animals you defend by condeming some who was born to do the work he did. But I doubt you can descern truth when there is no real knowledge inside of you. I feel truly sorry for those who must feel the sting of your self appointed ego. Yet I also feel sorry for you and the loneliness your final years will hold because you judged everyone undesirable compared to you. MISS YOU STEVE!

Two cents. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be being pampered in a zoo than be in a tin of dogfood.Many wild native animals are in plague preportions and millions are culled every year.

Please England keep Germaine Greer over there as she must now be considered one of the most insensitive , money grabbing , desperate and nasty ex- Australians . A fan and respector of her work I now hold nothing but dissapointment at the levels she is going to so she can remain in the media and I am totally embarrassed by her. She does not care what people think about what she says and we dont care what she has to say either ...she is a nobody and has lost what true blue Aussie characteristics she may have . Nothing to be proud of lady and please media give her no more time for the sake of Steves family and fans .

Two Cents I would rather be bad and have a decent heart and care about people and their feelings than be good and heartless and clueless like you obviously are...wake up to yourself and let us truely bad people grieve for our aussie son.

I don't believe that Germaine Greer understands the symbolism of Steve's love for animals. He represented Australia as a wildife lover and conservationist. Germaine and her man hating beliefs obviously have a different sway on the outlook he wished to spread to the world. The loss of his life will be remembered and grieved. Germaine, Steve Irwin had a family. A loving wife, Terri, and their two children, Bindi and Bob. Why should they suffer from your hate? Have respect for the dead, and the grieving. Once you die may no one remember your name and may all forget your family and actions. As for 'Two Cent's' childish remark about Australians being convicts and criminals, I believe whatever nationality he is will have three times more shameful heritage than ours, to produce such a fool of a citizen. Your intellect is so limited I doubt doctors could see any visible sign of it in an MRI scan.

Dear "angry aussie", I'm very knowledgeable about aussies, you're the decendants of convincts and criminals. You're bad seed. .

GET A FLIPPIN CLUE TWO CENTS. Obviously you are not an Australian because as aussies we respect the people in our nation that do great things and most of all respect the dead and the families of the lost. You and greer are obvioulsy from the same insane pit and should just get back in and shut your slandouraous mouths and let us grieve and remeber an Australian legend and loved one. Get a Life 2 cents.

Greer should keep her opinions to herself and not cause Steves family any more distress than what they are already going through. How dare she speak on the behalf of Australians she does not know us any more and she is no longer welcome in Australia. Steve to us was a legend, wildlife warrior, an idol and most of all a much loved and respected son of Australia more than you will ever be. So shut ya mouth mind your own buisness and keep your heartless comments to yourself no one wants to hear you. Steve never once put a single animal in danger, the only thing he did was give them respect and fight for their rights. To us REAL AUSSIES he is a hero and will be sadly missed.

WOW! I am not going to argue Steve and Terris actions because I know what I think of them in my heart and I fully support what they have done. Whats really sad here is the ppl that seem to think its okay to speak ill of the dead and to judge a man and his family for what he did. All of you great church going ppl talking about God and the animal kingdom doing what they needed to to this man..who are you to judge what he did or why the animals did what they did? You should care only about what you said..you should be ashamed that you spoke ill of a dead man. A man who happens to be a wonderful Father to 2 young children..I pray that your foolish comments don't fall upon their ears and that the respect and compassion they have for their father isn't ruined by the disrespect and stupidity of the ppl who dare open their mouths when what they have to say isn't anything worth saying. It isn't like its going to matter now that he is gone. You are only out to destroy the image that others including his children hold in their hearts, there can be no other reason for them, your ill comments won't change a thing now that he is gone. May God bless you and forgive you for your judgements upon others. Shame on you and your needlessly out spoken thoughts.

Most biologists, even nature photographers NEVER "rescue" animals from the wild. When observing nature they let nature take its course, even when a baby loses its mother. It's sad, but THEY DON'T MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE! Steve always wanted to man-handle wild animals, what the hell was his problem? He learned his lesson the hard way I guess. MOTHER NATURE ONCE AGAIN TEACHES A LESSON -- DON'T MESS WITH DANGEROUS CREATURES! His death is nature's way of removing a stupid person from the gene pool.

My two cents, get a clue: - He didn't just have the zoo (which is inhabited by animals he rescued from the wild). He bought vast amounts of land not only in Australia but in various Asian countries as well so the natural habitats wouldn't be destroyed. Maybe you should look a bit more into what Steve Irwin actually did instead of assume what he was like from his documentaries.

So Erwin had a zoo and that's good? NOT! The entrapment and enslavement of wild animals in cages for our amusement and their profit is WRONG! Yeah, they all have a few breeding programs, but what really matters to the zoos is MONEY! Don't promote circuses that have animals, and don't promote zoos! Leave wild animals alone!

"my two cents" you are a sick person. Steve has invested more then $40million in Australia Zoo alone. No to mention has purchased numours properties around the world to reserve the land for animal reserves. You must be some sort of Idiot who represents the small population of the world (possible just you and Greer), probably the size of your small brain.

People who think Steve Irwins death was revenge from the animal kingdom are ignorant fools. Steve Irwin was a great conservationist who purchased massive areas of land to save many animals natural habitats. Both the human and animal population will be worse off for the untimely death of this great man.

His death is God's punishment for chasing and terrorizing innocent creatures for amusement and profit. .

Well, actually Zella, it is the exact "stereotype" that women are suppose to be "loving" and "compassionate" that Feminists would object to. The continual reinforcement of this image, they would argue, has furthered patriarchial dominance in the professional, political and personal spherers. A central premise of Second Wave Feminism (of which Greer was a major exponent) was for women to be different from how they have been traditionally perceived. The fact that you so tastefully disregard her suggests that you have no idea how much her works have indeed contributed to the freedoms or opportunities you have today. Secondly, her comment about the animal world seeking revenge is stupid. But, how would you appreciate it if I was to barge into your home with an accompanying posse of camera man and wrestle you to the ground... For the record I think Irwin was great, and the loss of him is tragic.

Hey my 2 cents, I am guessing that you are not Germaine Greer but a person who doesn't know HER personally and is just defending her, she doesn't deserve to be defended, if she didn't want to hear or read all of these comments then she should have kept her damn mouth shut. Steve Irwin was a hero to many, especially children because Germaine didn't have his fame she is bitter it sounds like. Nobody is going to pity Germaine Greer for being an unhappy, non-compassionate old bag with nothing better to do then try and dis-credit a man and his family. FEMINIST????? Yeah right women are supposed to be compassionate and loving, Greer must think that being a woman is attacking a dead man and what he lived for helping animals and making the world aware of them, how many people can look at a crocodile and call it beautiful BET YOU CAN'T GREER. Tell me this is calling an animal beautiful cruel too? WOW, you piss me off so bad I am actually wasting the precious moments of my life to write this, Sas but true. One more thing Greer, don't be jealous and stop attacking Irwin just for fame.

Wow - are you sure you aren't germaine? you sound just as putrid!

This woman is correct. Steve is not a hero, not a saint to be cried over. He terrorized animals for amusement, THINK ABOUT THAT people! It's disgusting how people are wailing and crying over his death as if they knew him personally, these people are mentally unbalanced!

Germaine Greer, well first thing is first, can we blame her? I mean someone who seems to be as pathetic as Greer, do we really expect her to show any compassion? Maybe somebody needs to remind her that not only did the world lose an remarkable conservationist but 2 children lost their father and a wife her husband. The only thing I can think of is to just turn our heads and shake them in disbelief. She compared Steve Irwin's "alligator jumping" to that of a Lion tamer with whips and chairs. Well last time I checked Irwin was "jumping" on alligators and crocodiles to move them either back to the wild after rehabilitation (on his part) or to move the animals to safer places. If it wasn't for animal shows and zoo's children wouldn't get a first hand look at animals and never learn to respect them. Thank you Steve Irwin and your family for teaching children about God's Creatures. GERMAINE GREER if the animal world wanted its revenge it should have taken you.

germaine greer is a pathetic waste of human protoplasm. Why even publish her garbage statement. When she has given the entire world as much education and entertainment about animals and has given so much to so many, only then can she deserve to have any one read her comments. The title of her book definately describes her. As a very highly educated and traveled individual I take offense at her ignorant comments. I also feel it was a very cruel and heartless thing to say considering that Steve's wife and family may read this. Germaine, may you be so lucky to have anyone mourn over your death!

"my 2 cents", you're a dick! Stop wasting cyber space. Greer, please, bother someone else with your crap !!!!! You're merely jealous of what Steve has done for millions of people and nevermind animals and conservation. Awareness is what he has created, awareness of how fragile and important it is to preserve our wildlife. Perhaps someday you'll actually learn something useful from Steve and his family! Perhaps not, regardless, I'll pray for you see.

Germaine Greer, you are an idiot. How dare you! I'm glad you are living OS because YOU are the embarressment and we would not want you here in Australia. Go to hell

To cherry and chocolate: Prove to me that Steve "donated all of his earnings to preserving the wilderness." What a crock of crap, that's not true, unless you mean preserving the wilderness on his $2.5 million estate! .

Steve donated all of his earned money to preserve the wilderness. He cared a lot for the animals. He did not threaten them. He gave his best to save peoples lifes in the villages from dangerous animals with whom the people didnt know how to handle with. He was practically the best friend of the animals. He didnt hurt any animals. The cause with the stingray was an ACCIDENT and not a REVENGE from the animal world. Why should he hurt animals, if his biggest wish is to keep the wilderness safe? Now answer that question. Steve was A GREAT MAN. Its actually US PEOPLE who kill a lot of animals with our WATERWASTES and stuff like that... now think about that!!! R.I.P. Steve

for any of you cold hearted animal activist.how you can justify slandering the good name of a man that done more for the animal kingdom than you ever will i'll never know.steves whole purpose was the preservation of the animal kingdom through good education. to take advantage of a terrible tragedy like this only confirms your selfish desire to be noticed and receive attention by the media.for once stop thinking about your selves and think about the mans poor family and what they must be going through. you should be ashamed of your selves,the rest of us our.

YES! THIS IS TRUE! TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE A SOFT SPOT IN THEIR HEART FOR POOR STEVE, BUT NOBODY EVER FELT SORRY FOR ALL THE INNOCENT CREATURES HE TERRORIZED OVER THE YEARS! .

Exploiting the mans death to bring herself further celebrity attention, write a book next and make a bundle ? Go back to your little journals and make money the way the rest of us do, off our own backs you silly slag!

Steve Irwin was a foolish, well intentioned risk taker. Germaine Greer is sick.

WHAT THE HELL!!! I watched all those shows i know some animals are dangerous..I know different species of snake and would never pick up one i knew was dangerous..or one i was not familier with!!!! Steve is amazing...What about all the snakes he removed from peoples villages??? answer that one..'cos he saved lifes and the snakes were put in a better envioroment for them!!! Senna...England
