Irwin
I’ve stayed away from talking about his death because, honestly, I think the world has lost their mind. I know this is a tragedy for his family and I feel bad for them. O also enjoyed watching his shows. Still, I’m not sure his death warranted the three days of continuous coverage it received.
No, adding to the evidence that our world has gone crazy, people are killing rays in revenge.
Even if you ignore the fact that this is the last thing the crocodile hunter would have wanted, what does this solve? The man approached a wild animal, in the ocean, and scared it. It responded the only way it knows how. These animals are not lurking the shallows, waiting to do people in. When people interfere with animals in the wild, getting hurt or killed is a risk they take. The sting ray, I’m sure, would rather have spent his day swimming than attacking someone.
These people have lost their minds.
