Seemed like a major A1 asshole:
"Irwin had received some negative publicity in recent years. In January 2004, he stunned onlookers at the Australia Zoo reptile park by carrying his 1-year-old son into a crocodile pen during a wildlife show. He tucked the infant under one arm while tossing the 13-foot reptile a piece of meat with the other.
Authorities declined to charge Irwin for violating safety regulations."

if you're gonna quote a story like this - get both sides of the story
Immediately after this htio the news (and it was AL over th3e news at that time) steve and his Zoo released a video which THEY took of the whole show. Australia zoo records ALL their shows in case of accident etc etc...
the news reports from TVangled the camers to make it look like he held the baby in front of the crocs face... but steves video showed the baby was nowhere fucking near the croc
theres NOWAY he ever put him in danger.. steve was deeply troubled by the bad wrap he got from it
he was one of the genuine good guys and i'd liek to see even just 1% of pl here at GFY demonstrate half the balls this man did!!!!!!!
