Watch this video clip of the crocodile hunter (aka Steve Irwin) feeds
crocodile with his baby on one hand. After feeding the croc, he's like
playing barbie and ken right in from the croc.! This is outrageous! I
can't bare this!

If you think Michael Jackson is bad..this is 10 times worse!

Tommy

In both cases, their fame got them out of this. I was reading that
Queensland Police and their version of Child Services will not be filing
charges or having Irwin arrested. It kind of makes you wonder if this had
been someone else would they still have arrested them. What is worse is that
Irwin's wife and the mother of the child was nearby and finding the whole
thing amusing. The Irwins are some roll models. This incident certainly is
not great parenting on their parts as far as I am concerned.

It depends on your estimation of the danger. Irwin knows
his way around a crocodile. Your mom knew her way around
a vacuum cleaner. You and his baby both survived.

When is the last time you knew a vacuum cleaner had teeth, a tail and could
possibly eat a little baby. In Irwin's case one slip and that croc could
have grabbed that kid. Irwin used pretty poor judgment as did his wife who
should have known better since she did hand him the child.

Imo.... he can't have it both ways... play up the imminent danger angle to
boost his prowess and then say it's safe enough for a baby to be near at
feeding time.....

I saw him on the TV this afternoon explaining what he
termed "perceived danger". He said he wouldn't think of
approaching a horse with his baby, but he has no problem
dealing with a crocodile that way.

Sounds about right.

He also mentioned the important fact that his backyard is
literally a crocodile habitat (as is much of Australia,
as is much of Florida). His child is in more danger if
he doesn't get used to their behavior than if he does,
because he'll be running into them all the time.

Just before I replaced it, my last vacuum cleaner melted
its own baseplate and ruined about $7k in carpeting
before it burst into flames. And have you ever shoved
a vacuum cleaner into a baby? Nor have I. But they're
not innocuous, and that powerhead is rotating at about a
thousand RPM. Not safe.

One slip and that crock could have grabbed his nuts, more
than once in the tens of thousands of times he's poked
at one.

I'd say that baby was safer than the croc was.

Roy knew his way around big cats and the tiger still attacked him. Wild
animals are unpredictable and why take a chance with a one month old baby?

Well, apparently, as it has been stated, the angles are shot to make it
appear that the crocs are closer than they actually are.... so, basically,
he's just a fraud..........

Roy was an old codger who was dicking around with a heavily
drugged animal which was in an unfamiliar setting (he was
new to the show). I've seen their act. Those clowns should
have been shut down decades ago for abuse.

See Irwins response on this video. This is really worth seeing.

child(ren)?
