Default Payback for Steve Irwin's death?

Apparently a number of mutilated stingrays have been found off the beaches of Queensland, Australia. Pathetic and sad.

Good idea. Imagine if they were simple irrational animals who don't even know what Steve Irwin was and are uncapable of any communication what-so-ever to understand when a predator is a predator and when he is just an observer. Let's go further, imagine if they weren't capable of judging right from wrong and just proceeded to kill all humans they could find indiscriminately.

Oops, I think I am inverting things here. These people need to be expelled from the Human Race.

You know, a stingray killed Steve, sure it’s a big loss, but here we have a mental case going crazy and kills dozens of stingrays for it. Yet he never went crazy when dozens of Australians died after the Bali bombing?

If you ask me he is a chicken sh*t.

Steve wouldn't be pleased with whoever is doing it! I say when they find him they need to feed him to the sharks!

I agree. Goes totally counter to Steve's conservation philosophy. I'm also worried it could be some mentally stunted souvenir hunters who have decided having one of these infamous stringray barbs would be wicked-cool.

Personnally, I think it's a conspiracy.
And now the Stingrays are the scapegoats. Just like Oswald I'm tellin' ya!
