To be fair i'm really not sorry, but some people like peta
Steve Irwin antagonising terrified wildlife has always been the source of some degree of eye-rolling here in Australia. Good intentions, oafish execution.
*Steve Irwin drives along*
*Steve Irwin jams on the brakes*
*Steve Irwin peers at a snake that was blatantly placed on the road*
"STEVE!" shouts Terri.
"UUUWE BEAUTY!" calls Steve, wide-eyed, as he pokes the snake with a stick.
Of course PETA are in no position to lecture anyone, but criticism from the media about his methods is hardly new or limited to PETA.
Who are these people?
I don't think they understand exactly what Steve did. What ignorant person made that tweet lmao
so fucked.They're one of the top organizations in the country euthanizing animals. When they seize animals they tend to put them down because they believe being put to death is better than potentially living in neglect or pain. While they claim to only do this to animals who are elderly, sick, badly injured/disabled, or generally dying, they do tend to do it also as a means of population control and for the "welfare" of the animal since, ironically for all the pet owners who support PETA, their leadership views pet ownership as a form of animal bondage. Hence what happened in the above article involving the nine-year-old's pet dog, where they picked it up outside of the mobile home park where her family lived and put it down before the end of the five-day grace period.
Yeah, this probably shouldn't have been said or in this way. PETA and him have some shared viewpoints. So much money he earned went to buying up land for habitat and so it would not be developed on.
He was vehemently against wildlife being used for products (all wildlife he was against the use of including some that some Australians think ok to take, e.g. emus, kangaroos, crocodiles). Lending himself in ways to help out wildlife organisations in whatever he could.
He would also help out Sea Shepherd in ways that he could and was supposed to join them for some trips as well but it didnt eventuate due to his passing. They named one of their ships after him instead.
I support many of their views but sometimes some things (such as this) I'm not really with.
