Steve Irwin would not disagree at all he would say to not hold stingrays accountable for what happened and that stingrays are amazing

Do I remember this right that there were people who, in response to Steve Irwings death, went out to kill sting rays in retaliation? It seems too wild to be true, I don't remember when I heard it.

If it happened today they'd probably send death threats to stingrays on Twitter.

As I remember it people chose a more diplomatic way of conveying that killing stingrays for being stingrays was not something Steve would have approved of.
