Its interesting, there has been a move going on for a while to hunt down sting rays, they eat crabs and lobsters which are valuable to those fisherman who catch them and sell them to the public
Here’s a disturbing opinion from the Aussie newspaper The Guardian
“The animal world has finally taken its revenge on Irwin, but probably not before a whole generation of kids in shorts seven sizes too small has learned to shout in the ears of animals with hearing 10 times more acute than theirs, determined to become millionaire animal-loving zoo-owners in their turn.”

A tribute is being set up by the Discovery Channel, a 24 hour Crocodile Hunter marathon, and donations are being accepted that go to preserve wildlife in Steve’s name
As well, it appears that Steve’s friend and manager will carry on his work and take over his role as animal activist
