On labor day morning, as I watched the news, a breaking headline came in "Steve Irwin (aka Crocodile Hunter) killed." I admit I was not a devout fan of his, but was impressed with his energy on the few times I saw him on various talk shows. As the day went on I saw more clips about him and didn't even realize he was so compassionate about conservation. To be honest, I didn't even know he did much with nay other animals except crocodiles. But, I make no apologies for not watching too much TV. Of course, the press always overkills a story.....even a mans tragic death. They go at it from any angle they think will get interest. I suspect we will be hearing a whole lot about stingrays in the future. Hopefully, I will not hear anyone else say "this is the way Steve would have wwnated to go..." because he was only 44, had a wife and two daughters and I doubt he went out at anytime and said "I would sure like to be killed by a wild animal today." Many deaths make no sense. This is one of them.
