Stingrays are not murderers or trophies, leave em the hell alone!

To the mongrels who are cutting the tails off stingrays, pull your @#$%’n heads in! If you think you’re impressing Steve Irwin or his family, you’re not. You’re doing the very thing he fought against his whole life. Steve was in their territory, not the other way around. He would be the last person to blame stingrays for what happened, it was just unlucky. Rocks have killed more people than stingrays.

If you want to help, donate some money to the Wildlife Warriors, instead of being an ass.

If you’re a callous, self-serving trophy hunter, I hope you get shown the same mercy that you’ve given a helpless animal, with a limb cut off and left to die.

To all the normal people, don’t buy stingray barbs, don’t buy things made from stingray barbs, or you’re putting money in the pockets of assholes.

Steve Irwin dies from stingray barb

Reuters is reporting that Steve Irwin, otherwise known as The Crocodile Hunter has died as a result of an encounter with a stingray. Crikey! Steve’s work in conservation and quarantine will be missed.

Edit: For those who would like to contribute to Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s cause, make a donation to his Wildlife Warriors charity, adopt an animal at the Australia Zoo or just take care of the wildlife in your local area, see if your local rescue shelter is in need of blankets, food or a helping hand.

If you’ve never seen what a stingray barb looks like, here’s a photo of one.
