This appears to be a false notice from a jerk who can't respect the family of someone who just passed away. I would love to see the original link to this and the site that posted it. If there are any facts available to back this I have yet to see them.

There's always critics out there, and Steve Irwin may have appeared reckless in much of what he did. However his work has brought attention to a large number of animlas. Look at all the spinoffs now on TV of his work. It is largely in part to him and his antics that so many people watch animal planet type shows and that they are considered normal.

I'm offended at the tone that the writer took and wonder if he/she even knew Irwin personally to write such things.
