sad about Steve
Rest in peace, Steve Irwin.
On the one hand, I did think he handled the animals too much. They don't like it, and I always thought it sort of set a bad example, no matter how many times he said that it was dangerous and "kids, don't try this at home".
On the other hand, his incredible energy and his limitless love and passion for wildlife had absolutely no match. I think he did a tremendous amount of good in getting people to really appreciate and learn to care about every kind of living thing there is, especially the "creepy-crawlies" like reptiles and insects. He touched so many people, especially young people, and did so much to educate the public about wildlife and to promote conservation. He was like a force of nature himself. There was only one Steve Irwin, and now he's gone, too soon, too soon.
I'm very sad about it.
