Steve
has single-handedly opened the hearts and minds of millions
of children
and adults to truths about snakes (and many other animals).
His courage, passion, and endless energy in bringing wildlife
into our homes has opened doors for
wildlife educators like myself to entertain and educate thousands
about
snakes. Though I did not approve of some of his techniques with
snakes,
his message was clear about wildlife conservation.
This
"Crikey" wildlife enthusiast will be missed, but remembered
as a leader
for those critters who are unable to protect or speak for themselves.
I
extend my deepest condolences to Terri and the children, whose
lives are changed forever.
Steve
Irwin's family wishes to have any donations sent to Wildlife
Warriors Worldwide, their wildlife conservation organization.
