Given this image is a freak occurance – but I feel it is too soon to be posting an image of this nature I am requesting this image be temporarily removed to give the family, friends and public some time to grieve in peace! I encourage others to request this also!

stop it.

Karen,

No apologies! Steve (and his family) loved animals and he had a terrific sense of humor. He would have appreciated having his likeness batted around by a kitty cat, especially one so pretty as Lhiri. I think Meg made the right choice posting this set as a tribute.

Um, Katie, as stated at the bottom of the post, I submitted those photos in *March* because they are cute. I regret never trying to send them to Steve Irwin since I think he would have enjoyed them.

My fiance and I would have worn our khaki’s the other day had we known that Australia was doing so.

I think those photos are mean. Steve died and his family is grieving the loss of him. Straighten up and be nice. Whoever submited that should think MORE about others.

A CORRECTION IS WARRANTED ON THIS BLOG SITE: Please Note: Terri Irwin, Bindi and Bob. Were in Tasmania on a hike, when Steve was lost to life. “The Entire World” was not aware of the fact Steve was lost to life, until Terri could be notified. All national and international news agencies, had this new witheld until Terri could be notified of Steve’s departure. Even those News agencies that knew of Steve’s loss were directed NOT TO proceed with any news until the next of kin could be notified. This is a National Law in which the announcement of the dead cannot be news aired until the next of kin is notified. Australia, America, and the majority of the civilized world. Every now and then a slip occurs. But not in this case. News of Steve’s death did not hit the airwaves until approx. 6 hrs. after his death, only after Terri and Robert Irwin were trekked down and notified. My deepest condolences to the Irwin Family and the Family at the Australia Zoo! Steve’os Spirit will live forever as unique as he was, he is an irreplaceable ambassador to the world, the greatest conservation diplomat the world has ever known. We were fortuante to of have had him in our time. Wildlife was even more fortunate.

Thank you for posting this. I have a job that takes a lot of emotional energy to do well and I quietly check in here every couple of days to remember how cool the world is. Somehow Steve Irwin’s death knocked the wind out of me. I think it was becasue he made me feel like if *he* could do what he did – and with such spirit – then surly *I* could get through whatever seemed scary (but comparitively much less so) in my life. Such a fitting tribute to a spirit that radiated love even to those he never met – thanks for positing it. My prayers are going out for those he left behind.

Stever will be dearly missed. His catch phrase was popular among my friends.
