RIP Crocodile Hunter

My friend Jonathan (a snake-keeper and self-professed enthusiast of unusual and unloved animals) wrote this thoughtful and well-informed defence of the work of Steve Irwin in his blog yesterday.

Like most people, I found Irwin's show "Crocodile Hunter" a bit annoying, but I admired the work he did and the positive influence he had on children in particular. I was shocked to hear of his tragic death at the weekend.
