If this man was still alive the world would be a better place. Can you imagine all the animal lives he could of saved and how many minds he would have educated. RIP Steve you were a real life superhero.
Steve was a great example of the most dominant (and deadly) species on the planet....human beings....exercising reason, responsibility and compassion for a creature greatly feared by humans, though we kill MILLIONS of them for every ONE human killed....thanks Steve - A REAL MAN
Steve could do more for wildlife conservation and better educate on proper treatment of animals in a hour (INCLUDING commercials) than PETA can do in a year. #RIP Crocodile Hunter
Also note that peta kills nearly all of the animals they take in and have been threatened with the removal of their euthanasia tools but still keep killing, and they also hate pitbulls despite their supposed “love” for animals, and they have been quite racist and sick as well
1:30 you can just tell that he truly cares for everyone and everything. And at 2:32 you can hear the pain in his voice, keep in mind, peta wants this man to be forgotten....fuck you peta, even tho it’s 3 or 4 years ago since peta talking about Steve, we will continue to shit on peta
At this moment, the world really needs him the most, he was just one of the many staunch advocates and defenders of mother nature and all her flora and fauna. He had undoubtedly accomplished the one and severely overlooked commandment of mankind deriving from the biblical Book of Genesis which is our divine duty to conserve and preserve nature as stewards and stewardesses of the earth. Steve has done it in his earthly life and his legacy is strong with his descendants, therefore, he will be rewarded by God upon returning to his heavenly home.
I always feel overwhelmed by the amount of sadness that still lingers in my heart for this man, he was the shit I wanted to grow up and go be just like him when I was a kid. No one will ever have that Steve Irwin grit and realness again. RIP
@Gappie Al Kebabi It also fucking kills you, so yeah. Sorry if outlawing mercury-filled soup upsets some pissy bitch fishermen and their multi-millionaire sugar daddies, but not sorry. Man, what a fucking loss to the world.
I love how angry Steve got when he talks about shark slaughter. He was furious when he was talking about people who caught snakes and tortured them. I don’t like snakes but they really don’t deserve that, no matter how deadly they can be, they just try to protect themselves. This just shows how passionate he was for any and all animals and I love him for that.
I’m not a vegetarian or a vegan and I do eat some meat, but I won’t eat this as long as I live. I mean sure, humans are at the top of the food chain but this is just sad.
Never have never will and to make it even more brutal that was a Mako he pulled from the bottom one of the few sharks that the entire animal can be eaten
Yeah. I told my friends that I want to save the world just like Steve Irwin. And they said *"That's non of my business,they don't have soul"* So cruel!
Steve told us to protect sharks well over a decade ago and we still haven't listened...when will we let go of our fear of these beautiful, threatened creatures?
@JeSSEbism good point. So does your car and house should we get rid of those too🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔. Got'em. I do have a serious question tho. How do you not think about a topic completely and objectively before you state an opinion? Have you just been told your whole life to believe this certain set of values?
Man Steve Irwin was my idol as a kid and I remember seeing on the front cover of the newspaper about his death I broke down in tears. His love for animals was passed down to me and I will always love and respect him for it. Always do your part for animals no matter how small, they are very important and are just beautiful works of life that should be cherished and protected.
Honestly Steve wasn't really in any danger here, even without a cage. What Steve calls agitation is actually just curiousity. It's very easy to tell if a shark is agitated. Contrary to belief, sharks are actually quite calm and intelligent fish, which, by implication, makes them curious. Steve is to big to be considered a threat. They can't see the cage and yet they never attempted to attack. If diving with tiger sharks meant certain death, I would've been killed a long time ago. As long as you know the do's and don't's you'll be fine.
Right... I've been surfing all over the world and I'm going to have to call bullshit on this one. Tiger sharks (and bull sharks) are the 2 species that ALL surfers get out of the water for. I've surfed with Great Whites (White Pointers) in the water and not worried at all but, believe me, if I see a Tiger or Bull, I'm getting the fuck out!! Quickly! They are literally dustbins - they'll eat ANYTHING!! Oh, and by the way, shark attack stats are MASSIVELY understated because which tourism board wants to list a disappearance as a shark attack?? "Missing at sea" doesn't worry tourists as much
Although, having said that, there are studies which indicate that if you are upright underwater, they don't attack because it's a completely alien orientation for them. If you are horizontal in the water, well... Good luck
+nomoreluke Rubbish, but i will agree that surfers are at risk, mostly due to mistaken identity. in almost all cases of attacks on surfers the surfer is not eaten after the first bite. Most survive because the shark realises that we're too ''boney'' to bother with and swims off, and the few who die, die due to blood loss.
Kristian Brandt What's "rubbish" exactly?? That Tigers and Bulls will eat anything? Absolutely correct fella. Do a bit of research into under-reporting of shark attacks too mate. Interesting when you consider that many countries with high shark populations are poor countries who rely heavily on tourism... Namibia, Kenya, etc.
I Will not eat shark fin soup or go to any restaurant that serves it. Rest in peace Steve Irwin you done Eden amazing job for this planet I wish you were still here
I hear the newer generation saying oh his personality and attitude was fake. Its just sad that most of us cannot be so enthusiast and loving about anything; let alone how Steve viewed every living creature and the whole planet. I tell myself to worry less and be as in the moment and conscious of life around us as Steve was. He was and will always be my Idol. Never once have I ever doubted his passion and its inspiring! We were so lucky to have a soul like him.
Commenting on RU-vid isn't "helping with awareness". All it is is posting on RU-vid. Armchair warriors thinking that bashing away at a keyboard is somehow going to make a difference to anything!
nomoreluke obviously you aren't on youtube much, you should know that these simple statements usually lead to arguments with people who believe the other side. This way people who read it can view both sides and are more aware.
Of course it is mate... >< I'm sure that there are no other, more effective ways, of raising awareness other than bashing a keyboard in your mum's darkened basement. It's RU-vid fella - home of the supremely ignorant. There are no constructive discussions on here, including this one!
If you're going to cut the fins off a shark (or any fish/mammal) to sell then dump the rest overboard, then why wouldn't you just sell the rest of the shark... Seems pretty wasteful to me :/ And out of all the A-holes on this planet, Steve is the one that dies.. Figures... All the awesome people die young
Thought: Would it be possible to affix artificial fins onto a freshly de-finned shark to save its life? They're just lumps of cartilage. Nothing too sophisticated to replicate. And the shark usually dies from drowning, not blood loss. I could just see Steve patrolling the seas, looking for shark-finners, creating bionic sharks from the victims.
If I saw a restaurant serve shark fin soup I would do all I could to stop them from getting business until they stop serving it. I wonder how they protected the cameraman in the water, he didn’t seem to have a plastic tank.
Actually, he says 'one hundred million sharks are CAPTURED each year' which could, and probably would, mean that one hundred million sharks are caught, killed, sold, and imprisoned in aquariums, as in total, which makes since, especially since it's not just one species he's talking about, it's ALL species.
I WILL NEVER EAT SHARK FIN SOUP. IF ANYONE IN MY FAMILY EVER EATS IT, I WILL NEVER SPEAK TO THEM AGAIN.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Look over there, right there, that's a tiger shark. Tiger sharks are immensely strong and could kill me with one bite. I'm gonna touch it. *chomp* AYYEEE IT'S ANGRY!!
