Fears of revenge attacks on stingrays over Irwin death
By Devika Bhat and agencies

At least ten stingrays have been found dead and mutilated on Australia’s eastern coast in the last week in what conservationists believe could be revenge attacks for the death of Steve Irwin, the popular naturalist and television personality.

Irwin, known by his fans as the "Crocodile Hunter", was killed last Monday when a stingray barb pierced his chest as he filmed a new TV programme off the Great Barrier Reef. His death triggered an outpouring of grief in Australia and among thousands of admirers worldwide.

But now it is feared that fans' mourning has taken a new focus: stingray rage.

Why do people always take things so far?
I'm sure Steve Irwin would be really pleased that his fans are killing animals to remember him. Morons.

Stop. Look. Jive!

I really don't see why people are killing stingrays, honestly, it isn't all the stingrays fault.

Hmm, revenge the death of a conservationist by killing the creatures he was dedicated to conserve.

Brilliant.

I still can't get over the fact that he's dead. He was so cool!

Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.

I highly doubt that Irwin would approve of this.

Beware of the scary banana fingers! For they are mushy, and yellow.

He died swimming along with one to showcase its beauty and the wonder of nature. Of course, stringrays look just as good chopped up on a beach. :roll:

Why can't people take a moment to consider their actions?

too right!!

If Irwin were to place blame anywhere, it would be on himself, and himself alone.

I saw someone throw a chick once. Does that mean I should throw babies over stair rails?

... Deep warty, deep.
I don't think that people should do that, he did love the animals, and what he did was a dangerous profession...

those other stingrays didn't deserve death.
