Has it occurred to any of you who are so quick to judge that what Steve Irwin was doing when he'd catch these animals and then present them to the cameras was trying to show the world the beauty of every one of those living creatures up close? He simply was comfortable enough around all of these animals to be able to see them, catch them and then be able to keep them calm enough to be able to give us a little lesson about them while showing us what they looked like close up and in their natural environment. He was always very gentle with all of them and when he was done with his little presentations he'd let them go. You could see that he really loved being around all of these animals and was simply not afraid of them.

It was certainly tragic but as others have said, he died doing what he loved which is certainly better than slowly fading away over time, only to spend our last moments on this earth in some clinical, dreary hospital room.
