Snakes know a good thing when they see it!

Steve,

I have always loved and watched all your shows, including your recent movie.
I have to tell you and Terri, what you did with this innocent baby was wrong, he did not 'dig it',
you are talking about a innocent 'infant' baby, Steve and Terri you need to think what you did, This should have never happened, Baby Bob did not have a choice in this stupid show you both chose to put on for all of your 'fans'............

We need people like Steve and Terri Irwin. They have made available to the whole world, why we need conservation of all our animals, even the creepy crawley and dangerous ones. I don't think at any time Steve put his son Bob in any danger. He surely knows his crocs, and how to read them. I guess that would say, when my girls were infants, and I sat them on one of the horses for a picture, that I was being abusive. I think not, I know from experence as does Steve Irwin which ones to use. Steve, I would hate to see you give up your TV show, you have been a great teacher and should continue with your education on conservation. I wonder how many times these same people that are critizing you have driven their child unrestrained in their automobile. Steve, keep up your good work.
All My Best

I DON'T THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT STEVE WOULD HAVE PUT HIS FAMILY IN DANGER.TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE IS NOT TO KNOW HIM

We love you Steve! Besides, it would've been kind of cute had baby Bob ended up croc food...

Steve, just would like to say, keep up the good work mate. I love ya work & I,m a mother of 2 & would let you show them "the ropes" from a young age anyday. Only if people understood it would be more dangerous for bob & bindi to be sheltered from our creatures. Knowledge is a good thing. something you have that the people judging you don't.youre "true blue" & I love your passion. dont let them doubt yourself for a second! Tammy FNQ

People need to pay more attention to their own lives. Steve knows what he's doing, so get over it already.

I can not even believe that the so called "media" can even suggest that Steve and Terri would do anything that would endanger their son.. As far as having the young lad in his arms while feeding the croc, I would say that perhaps the "MEDIA" should take another look at what Mr. Irwin was doing and the people that I am certian was within a close enough distance, however, out of sight to assist IF a problem had come up.. I have seen him doing all kinds of what the world thinks is crazy,however, if you ( the media ) really knew what was going on there probably would not have been a word said.Maybe all you so called keepers of safe life,, OR what I like to call,,TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS,,GOODIE TWO SHOES,, should get out more often and get life as it was meant to live,, FREE,,AND HAPPY.. Well I am sure that I have insulted someone with this letter. Keep up the great work MR IRWIN, TERRI AND FAMILY..

Just so you all know that this is not an official Steve Irwin web site. Your comments here are only posted to a resource for writers.

they are out to get you I think Steve, you have had the vultures after you since you praised our prime minister recently, I for one agree with your comments about John Howard. Good luck and more power to you.

TO STEVE AND FAMILY IAM 7YRS OLD YOU ARE A LEDGEND HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH YOU HAVE DID NOTHING WRONG MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE BEHIND YOU ,DONT FORGET CROCS RULE..AND SO DOES BINDI AND BOB...COREY BAKER NSW....

Steve, We love you back in the USA! Don't sweat this overblown media elitest hype. It's not the first time they have victimized the innocent due to their need for ratings and extreme lack of common sense. For goodness sake, don’t believe this hype is the view of the overwhelming majority back here in the states.

You’re a Croc man.. It’s your life and livelihood. Your kids are a part of that, whether or not anyone likes it. Im not an expert with wild animals, but can they not smell fear? When you’re in a state of panic, instead of control, will you not be in real danger around predatory creatures? You’re exposing your children because you care to keep them safe. It’s not hard to see it for what it is.

When I was youngling, my dad was in the mounted Sheriffs force. We boarded horses on our land as well. As far back as I can remember, I was on and around horses. When I was in 2nd grade, my responsibility was to feed and water all of the horses before school. When I was strong enough to pull a rake, I was in the stalls cleaning. If my dad had not spent time exposing and teaching me about how to behave and interact with horses, I probably would have gotten hurt. I see no difference in your situation.

Obviously the US media once again needed a big story and Steve Irwin just happen to do something that could be twisted easily. Shame on the media!! Neither Steve nor Terri would ever put family, friends or co-workers in harms way. All these so-called "outraged" parents....get a life...take care of your own kids and let the Irwin's take care of their kids.

Steve!
Great work! I married an Aussie and we visited your great zoo this past May! What a place! We are parents as well and TOTALLY applaud you as a PARENT&FATHER in teaching your children as you have been taught.
Mate, you handled the most ugly, sensationalism-searching media so well! GOODON'YA!
Steve, you totallyu stunned them with your rebuttal of how other kids are raised next to busy, high-speed intersection roadways...wow!
(I believe the reporter was speechless!)
Anyway, keep up your great parenting and we love ya' and adore you and the family!
love to Bindy and Bob!
Love, glenn and louise bennett

Steve,

Good work !,Its about time someone raised their family on good values and not gutless politicians laws.
Is the nation going to lose their heritage because of what some softy mammas boy with a camera says?

Beware the press,more dangerous than a nile crocodile or a black mamba??

All the best.

To Steven

Fine and dandy, you think you're in control Steve. But what if you lost your footing? Isn't that just possible? Then what? Are you willing to bet you're always quicker than them? Even if you're on your butt and your baby fell out of your hand? Unintentionally many children are lost in accidents of all sorts. Is it worth it to be "right" at the cost of your month old baby? You'd have a lifetime to beat yourself up for it. That said, I'm not crucifying you, just focusing some light on the subject, because I would hate to see you ever have to live with that possibility.
