Wow. talk about some rough news this morning. Daddy called to tell me that the Crocodile Hunter died in a freak accident while shooting a documentary. Pierced in the heart by a stingray

I feel ya too. I told Geoff and Monica about it and their basic attitude was oh-he-provokes-dangerous-animals-he-got-what's-coming-to-him. Really pissed me off, especially considering how he's changed attitudes about animals in Australia that may be a nuisance to humans, preservation rather than extermination.
well, when daddy called me, my first reaction was "did he finally get attacked by a croc?"
and in responce to that, stingrays are actually quite docile creatures. the barbs on their tail only rise when they are scared, and its involuntary. its very rare that someone actually dies from it. and the fact that it pierced his heart is just... crazy bad luck.
but i concur. preservation is what he taught. animals around the world lost a friend and ally yesteryday.
