Ras 74 Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 I think if any man (or women) can choose the way they want to go, they want to end their days during what they love to do. I
snefroe Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 i was aware of the fact that there was a 'real crocodile hunter' but i don't think i ever saw him on tv... this accident reminds me of what happened to a guy called 'the bear legend' or something. this guy went camping for months, year after year i believe, to observe bears. he also felt he had things well enough in control, he even personalised these animals. unfortunately, one day, he comes too close, thinking the bear would know him well enough by now, the bear attacks the guy and eats him alive... it was all recorded on tape... and not a pretty sight... if you're out there, doing these type of things, working/living with animals in their territory, then it's usually just a question of time before you get into trouble. the only way to survive that is to take the necessary measures, never to lose objectivity, and to respect the animals... Irvin made a mistake: he was so much focussed on making a decent documentary, probably focused on the animal he wanted to film, that he didn't see he was a threat to the other fish... Stupid, actually... but a lot better than being eaten by a bear...

Yeah, I saw this on TV. I think it was in Alaska or Canada. The government now uses the music sample of this guy's last screams as example for other people who want to live with bears. Quite sick, I think :-X .

RIP Steve Irwin 1962-2006. I can still remember how shocked I was when I learned about his death... Edited December 29, 2009 by Mörs
