Everyone's favorite crocodile wrestler goes to the mat for animals
Many people think of Steve Irwin as that crazy Aussie who wrestles crocodiles on TV. He has produced dozens of wildlife documentaries for cable's Animal Planet. His growing fame has landed him a Federal Express commercial and a character on the cartoon series South Park. His wild-man persona even dominates the trailers for Eddie Murphy's upcoming Dr. Dolittle film sequel.
So is this guy just an entertainer with a brazen attitude around wild animals, or is he a committed wildlife conservationist? Scientific American writer Sarah Simpson went to Queensland, Australia, to ask the Crocodile Hunter himself.

PETA came out and slammed Steve Irwin post-mortem. Them cowards... if they did not like the guy, why did they wait till after he died to come out and attack him?
I would like people to boycott PETA until they give a public apology to Steves family... I for one do not support them and their tactics.

Anton, it is unfair to attack the man after he is gone and while his family, friends, and fans are still grieving. You're absolutely right.
Also, please do not think our silences mean anything other than most of us may not be online or in Care2 when you've posted. We are a fairly laid back bunch. In fact, personally, I am so laid back as to be considered horizontal.
daph, you are always so cheary...a fun person i muat say so.. smiles...steve indeed was a great man..it's so sad that a thing like this had to happen. people are cruel, the reason they do not attack when the person is alive is because they are cowards...we love ya steve..
