A reminder to love nature

This is why I get so mad when people say “we don’t have an overpopulation problem, we have a resource allocation problem”.

No. There are not supposed to be this many fucking humans. Where the fuck are the animals supposed to live????

We need to return to preindustrial population levels so the animals can too

It's really amazing how much damage his loss probably did to the world.

I can't think of any pro-wildlife "influencers" that would be at his level today, much less wherever he would have reached in the remaining years.

I wish I could get the joy out of picking up an animal turd that Steve Irwin had. Every time I walk the dogs.

"Our wildlife"

It's not ours, just like the planet isn't.

I miss Steve

Cold uncaring universe MFers realizing we are not separate from the universe and are, in fact, the universe itself observing, bettering, and caring about itself.

But since we shape our own environment, we are guest and shouldn't be everywhere on the planet.

Evolution just needs to kick the rest of the animals into high gear and do some defcon 1 shit, like making seaguls venomous and thirsty for human blood, or inventing funnel-webbed Taipans that can fly and open doors. New airborne bacteria that feeds exclusively on the human optic nerve, and daffodil pollen that causes category 5 cytokine storms.

Level the fucking playing field.

Everyone in here acting like farming and livestock hasn't been the cornerstone of human population since 400k years ago...

Man always kept animals close to his heart, especially that one stingray...

Absolute Legend.

Rest in peace.

I wonder if he was vegan

Love it to (your) death, Steve.

Humanity’s ability to repair and control is far from being able to keep up with its destructive power

44 years old is a RIPE OLD AGE for a crocodile hunter!

We do not own her, and she does not own us. Mother Earth made us out of spite, to be constantly challenged, until we are let loose on an unsuspecting universe. Her peers scorned her, so she has given us one trial after another to make us as resilient, and eternal, as she is. Soon we will leave our cradle carrying our mother's wisdom, and wrath, with us. Woe to all that seek to oppose us, for we have been tempered in a deathworld crucible. Blessings to all that are neutral, or join in our crude attempts to make a better galaxy and universe.

Oh and those of us that stay behind shall finally tame our mother, and make her into her final form of a true Gaia planet.

So deep. Now watch how I manhandle this croc for your chortling entertainment.

it's just amazing how he basically invented modern biology with natural selection and eventually led him to loving animals so much. very inspirational dude!
