Who agrees that Steve Irwin was one of the best animal advocates and are truly devistated at this sad loss?

	Who agrees that Steve Irwin was one of the best animal advocates and are truly devistated at this sad loss? Steve Irwin had a passion for animals and his love for them shed onto viewers everywhere. I became inspired when I was in elementary school and have always wanted to be involved in an animal job ever since I he has shown that animals need to be respected and that they are dangerous. I believe that he showed us that animals need protecting because when you watch a doctumentary about animals you see a far view of the animals and when Steve showed us the animals he was right up next to it and was passinate for his love of animals. I am deeply saddened by the loss of one of our greatest animal conservationists. Doesn't anyone agree? Asked By: Misty - 9/6/2006

I was just sitting here, thinking about Steve Irwin and said to myself, go to Yahoo answers and see how others feel. Thanks for posting this question. Steve Irwin made me think about animals in a whole new way. I have a greater respect for animals because of him. I used to watch crocodile hunters alot, but in the last couple of years, I moved on to other interests. I just feel very sad about him dying at such a young age. I'm 55 and I guess it makes me feel lucky I'm still alive. Steve Irwin had such a fun personality, I always had the feeling that he was a geniune person, and what you saw is what you got. I would laugh so hard watching him. A very cool person! I love you Steve! Have just as much fun in heaven! Anyhow, I uploaded 2 videos to youtube, a tribute and Crocodile Hunter, most embarrassing moments. That one will make you laugh!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wCnNFyW2jk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv7e1Qwxj1w This is a really cool video of Steve Irwin, with some of his most embarrassing moments! Hope this cheers everyone up a bit! Crickey! Steve Irwin, A Great Aussie Mate Australia and America has lost a great mate. For the past few years Steve Irwin has been the Aussie Americans knew best. He was your mate. For those of us who were lucky enough to have worked with him promoting Australia, he was our mate. His extraordinary enthusiasm and passion for life, his unequalled devotion to the animal world, his big hearted love for his country and his efforts to get more Americans Down Under made us proud - of him, and of what he so magnificently represented. We thank America for taking him to your hearts. By doing that you gave him the power to make his dream of a better understanding of the natural world a reality. You will miss him, and so will we. Steve was a great Australian and a great man. Donations in memory of Steve can be made at www.wildlifewarriors.org.au .... From: http://www.australia.com/home_us.aust?L=en&C=US Australia Zoo and Wildlife Warriors Worldwide are today in mourning for a beloved friend and respected leader. The global response to the loss of Steve Irwin and the public outpouring of empathy we have received has been overwhelming, and a significant comfort to those of us who knew him. This is not just a loss for us, but for a planet full of people who loved him so well, and for the world’s precious wildlife that he laid his life on the line to protect. Steve was a true original; he brought energy and passion to everything he did. Whether it was performing groundbreaking crocodile research on board his vessel Croc One, filming wildlife documentaries or simply celebrating his children’s birthdays, Steve didn’t do anything by half. A hard-core Wildlife Warrior and dedicated family man, Steve did for conservation and education what no one had ever done before. He brought wildlife conservation right into people’s living rooms and created a whole new generation of Wildlife Warriors. The exceptional life Steve led is a testament to his respect for all creatures great and small, and his passion for wildlife was matched only by his passion for family life. We here at Australia Zoo offer our heartfelt thanks on behalf of the Irwin family for your condolences and kind words. Many people have expressed a desire to donate to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in memory of Steve. All donations will be greatly appreciated and applied directly to saving animals in the wild. Steve’s legacy will live on in the continuation of his life’s work. http://www.wildlifewarriors.org.au/ Answered By: Janny - 9/6/2006

I will never forget the image of steve irwin talking to the camera while sharks were in a feeding frenzy all around him while he stood in the water...the guy was a crazy kook but he was fascinating, funny and very entertaining...i kind of felt one day his luck would run out the way he took risks dealing with wildlife but i would never have guessed it would take a stingray to be the culprit....my condolences to his friends and family....he was one of a kind and his legacy will continue as his shows run on animal planet Answered By: maravichi - 9/7/2006

Without a doubt. Very well said. Answered By: oceansoflight777 - 9/6/2006

Steve's loss is truly tragic to the world of conservationists. He was a great, passionate person. So passionate that he scared as many people as he entertained. But his work will never be forgotten, as there are many ways to remember such a vivid person such as Steve (including reruns of his television show). Answered By: beachdarryl0202 - 9/6/2006

I totally agree. He was so full of passion for everything. Great question. Answered By: Sandra♥ - 9/6/2006

Yes, I agree. The people who really knew him are saying that the Steve Irwin, on camera, was the the same guy off camera. He was a passionate and sincere conservationist who loved animals, and his passion was the same when the camera lights were turned off as it was when the film was rolling. He wasn't just preening for the audience. He was as real as it gets. What happened to him was truly a freak accident. He was one-of-a-kind and will be missed by many all over the globe. Answered By: Rose - 9/6/2006

Sorry - I think to some degree people like Steve Irwin hide behind words like "conservationist" when in reality they are making huge sums of money by disturbing animals in their natural habitat for the entertainment of the masses. They rationalize that educating the masses about animals somehow magically translates to conservation, but I'm not sure this is the case. I think it is also safe to say that the animals didn't like Steve Irwin as much as he liked them! Not the crocs that he dragged back to his Queensland Zoo to live out their days and obvioulsy not the sting ray. There is a fine line between conservation and exploitation and I'm not sure which side he was one. I bet there are thousands of anonymous animal lovers who work to protect animals without getting rich and famous in the process. Answered By: Barometer Soup - 9/6/2006

I feel the same way i used to watch him all the time and i feel so bad for his family hopefully his kids will carry on his name. Answered By: no name - 9/6/2006

I'm sure he liked them, apparently more than they liked him. He definitely exploited them for his own gain, doing silly things like agitating them. They are after all wild animals. What do you expect of them ? You play with fire long enough.... Answered By: David C - 9/6/2006

Agreed. Rest in Peace Steve. Answered By: harlee29 - 9/6/2006

Every Australian agrees that he's one in a billion. He did our country proud Answered By: janice_sissy - 9/6/2006

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now. 1 answer - Asked By: Alex Prieto - 10/14/2012

	What to wear to a job interview VS a career fair? So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?! 2 answers - Asked By: Beast - 9/23/2012
