Hi, I'm new to the group and have been an advocate of Steve's conservation beliefs since the beginning of his career.  I'm happy to be apart of this group and to continue Steve's legacy to educate and conserve our environment and wildlife!

New to the group and I am a big Steve Irwin fan. Visited Australia Zoo when I was over in Australia recently and it was pretty amazing

G'day mates, my name is Tammy Meyer. I hope it's alright for me to be here. I too was very saddened as was my family. let me tell you a story how Steve changed my life,even though I never had the honor of meeting him in person. Five years ago I lost my father to cancer and like steve said about his mother,it leaves a hole in your heart and you'll never really get over it,but you owe that person to get up and move on, my dad and I were close. So I found myself having to get up and move on with a huge responsibility with my own family and my mother. My mother has many physical,psycological and emotion problems. We tried to take care of her but found it was too much and ended up having to put her in a nursing home by her doctors recommendation. Then a year later our house caught fire and we lost everything. We tried to rebuild afterwards but everyone turned their back on us including the church we were going to. Everyone had lied to us about helping us rebuild but when it came right down to it,they said they weren't interested. Then the neighbors started harrassing us,unknown to us they were in contact with the landlord about buying our land, so they made our life miserable while we tried to rebuild. They even went as far as calling DFS on us. DFS harrassed us for about 3-6 months then finally giving us an ultimatum,either we move out of the house we were trying to rebuild or loose our kids needless to say we moved. We moved to an apartment that didn't allow pets so we had to find temporary shelter for our dog, which is a story by itself. At about this time I had given up on trusting people, I was very bitter. But one day we were flipping through the channels and landed on Animal Planet and "The search for the Super Croc" was on. There was nothing else on so we stayed on Animal Planet and we watched it all the way through. I had heard of Steve but wasn't interested in his type of work. But all of a sudden things changed. My very cold heart began to melt like an ice cuge in boiling water. I was hooked and watched him, getting to know him and his family better. it was like he reached through the screen,grabbing my hand and saying come on, come with me, see and feel what I do and I did. I still do. When I heard steve had been killed I didn't want to believe it. My family and I watched the memorial service and cried through the whole thing. We also vowed to pick up where he left off. We have already begun by starting our own organisation called, "Preservation Creation." We educate people on taking care of God's creation and the wildlife. we are also working on a website under the same name. We also do newsletters and right now I am in the process of trying to convince the Missouri Conservation Department to let the mountain lions repopulate in Missouri. Anyway, that is how Steve Irwin changed my life.

  I am so happy to see a group here that really appreciates what Steve has done!

Thank u thank u thank u

I was shocked and saddened, as thousands of people worldwide undoubtedly were, by the news of this incredible man's passing. As brash as his approach was, his devotion and enthusiasm have always lead me to look beyond the lunacy to his passionate mission ; conservation, education and tolerance.

Steve Irwin was so much more than an exhuberant, in-your-face , larger than life television personality. He was an educator and a true wildlife warrior.....and the legacy that he left has inspired me more than ever to be a voice for those who have none.

Thanks, Steve-o , you beauty....and thanks , Wolf Singer and Lena, for creating this group.

Steve's death was a very real lose to family and his wide audience of friends!

Thank you Connie for the invite!

Thank you Wolf Singer for the invite and thank you Lena for starting this group.  I think, like everyone else, I am still in total shock and disbelief that he is gone.  You could not help laughing and smiling watching that crazy Aussie!  I believe that you learn more about something when it is also entertaining, and Steve Irwin never disappointed in that area.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Thanks for the invite WolfSinger!

It was tragic news to hear of Steve Irwin's death.  The only consolation is that he died doing something he loved.

Good luck with this group.

Luv n light,

Doris

Very good idea to begin with this group. I´m still shoched about this . Wish this is just a bad dream. He visited my country twice, and taught very important things to mexicans about caring for different animals in the places he visited (Chiapas, Tabasco and Oaxaca). He taught indian children how to preserve these habitats. He liked these places very much and considered Mexico a very important place in the planet because of our diversity in strange and unique species. We will miss him. Thanks to  Steve for all his enthusiastic contribution here and worldwide.

This group was a good idea and I will miss Steve Irwin my husband and I always watched him all the time and thank you for making this group if you need me to help anyway let me know.   RIP Steve Irwin we will miss you.

I am anxious to get this group rolling. I think that since the funeral arrangements are still being made etc. that we should also follow those developments as well. I am thinking that we should start a thread dedicated to the next few days of what transpires until he is finally laid to rest.

However, I have to get back to work for now, so I will be back later.

to you all for being a part of this group.
