I suppose it is just the instinct as a mother and a grandmother, there is no way on god's green earth that I would put any child that close to something that is so unpredictable. A wild animal of any kind is unpredictable.

They may look like old lazy crocodile just lying there, but they can move fast when the need comes and they are hungry enough.

I know when I sit my child down in front of a computer, the only thing to worry about is the computer crashing, I just do not believe the computer is suddenly going to jump up and take my child’s head off.

Just a thought, I wonder if you can tame a croc to lie down and let you give it scratch on its belly. Would you really want to chance it?

Even Irwin himself has admitted to having been injured "more times than you can poke a stick at". So how do you put a one-month-old baby in that danger? I am sorry, but I just cannot find any justification in this act at all. Do you think he let himself be injured or do you think the reason he was injured could be accidental? Always expect the unexpected! Nobody plans an accident, at least not most of us anyway.

Sorry but when it comes to a child’s life; I do not take chances at all. All I can say is let the child observe from a distance and then if, and I did say if he wants to work with the crocs when he is old enough to know, then fine. Babies are so innocent and helpless and they depend on us to keep them safe and out of danger.

To me that is one ugly picture of Irwin holding his baby and that rather huge Crocodile coming up to eat that little piece of chicken. Look at the picture and tell me if you can honestly say the baby was that safe, so many things could have happened. Irwin could have been knocked to the ground himself, then what? LOOK at the Picture....If it was close enough for him to drop the chicken into its mouth I would say that was too close for comfort.

I worry about everything my children does, and my grandchildren. I am just naturally like that. As you grow older, and you have children, you naturally see things going on that makes you hold your breath, if you suspect your child is in danger. Its just an instinct I suppose. You see your child or grandchild riding a bicycle too fast, and you just naturally get nervous for that childs safety, no matter what your child is doing and how old they get. They are always going to be your child, no matter how old they are. My oldest is 31 years old, he drove truck all over the United States, and I as his mother worried.
