Crocodile Hunter Dad Steve Irwin’s child training stunt backfires |
Steve Irwin, that guy who puts himself in all sorts of precarious situations with crocodiles, pythons, and other animals from the Australian wild that can kill a human being in a blink of an eye is facing backlash over a recent croc stunt involving his child. He says it wasn’t a stunt, it was him teaching his young children how to deal with his rather unique backyard of crocodiles. By the video footage it looks like he dangled the child in front of the hungry croc. He has been under siege, understandably, from m many different organizations and people who frown on this type of training/stunt. Irwin regrets ever having the cameras rolling. Yeah, I don’t doubt that.

I think that Steve Irwin was being a little risky when he put his child in a croc’s inclosure, but Steve Irwin is a pro @ herpitology. If there was reason to belive he was tring to put himself or little Bendy in danger then that would be different.

[…] Perhaps the one and only time media attention to Irwin’s antics backfired was when footage surfaced showing what appeared to have him dangling his child in front of a crocodile. Will Irwin’s children follow in his footsteps? Smart money says yes. […]
