I just hope that he doesn't set back conservation twenty years. My Aussie friends are not his biggest fans, either; in fact, it's been a toss-up between Irwin and Paul Hogan for the "Oh, bugger, why does the world have to think of us like THAT?" prize.
That said, i am still sorry that a human being is dead.
As said on another diary and elsewhere, his death serves as a reminder that animals are not toys. Nature has big pointy teeth (and sometimes a venoomous stinger). That is as it should be.
As Joe Bob used to say, "I don't wanna have to explain this again." Not to you, just in general.
Although I thought he was kooky and invincible, when HRH said, "Apparently it was a 1 in 100 million sort of thing" my response was, "Well, even with a hundred million bullet magazine, if you keep pulling the trigger, no one should be surprised when you get shot."
It still made me think about my own mortality a little more, especially when I'm planning to go to Stingray City in December.
Oh he was a chalupa and a side order of refried beans short, definitely. When I first heard he was dead my first thought was, "Wonder which critter finally got him?" When I heard the details it was kinda, "Wha, huh?" In a wierd way, I'm sorry what killed him wasn't one of his nutball stunts but an actual freak accident. If he got killed by a snake, lost a leg to a croc, or something similar, it might make people realize that he wasn't as in control of those situations as he pretended.

You'll probably appreciate this. I laughed inappropriately loud. http://www.dailygut.com/?i=971
