“The whole family is in on the act. Irwin’s young daughter, Bindi, has her own ‘Bindi Wear’ fashion label. My Steve, the autobiography of Irwin’s widow, Terri, is also on sale. You can even buy an Irwin family print to put next to your wedding photo on the mantelpiece. Even Irwin’s grandfather and great-grandfather, both soldiers killed in World War II, get a nod in the DVD, Steve Irwin’s Ghosts of War. Another DVD, Swimming with Sharks: A Steve Irwin Adventure, shows the Crocodile Hunter’s passion for deadly marine life was equal to his zeal for the deadly
amphibians which made his name. One DVD goes as far as to proclaim Irwin’s messianic qualities: He Changed the World.”
I do wonder how many he got interested in conservation and animal study. My 14 year old is working on his application to be a teen volunteer at the zoo. He was inspired to learn about animals by watching Steve Irwin and the Kratt Brothers at a young age.
Steve would be truning over in his grave for this 'cause I'm sure he wouold neverhave wanted this<
From what I've seen of his shows and from interwiews he's done, his passion was always for the wildlife. if they want to put up a "shrine' in his honer than there is no better one that to continue with his work with thye animals and the wildlife he loved.
Not all this bruhaha and nonsense that's been done in his name now.
Terri and the rest of the family ought to know better.
In the writer's zeal to trash the zoo and Irwin family, he can't even be bothered to know something about which he writes. Crocs are NOT amphibians. They're reptiles.
