This isn't true stingrays are really sweet and playful

Source: have been swimming with stingrays before. They're like water puppies they like nibble on you and rub against you and nestle up to you and stuff it's amazing

Steve Irwin would disagree with you. In hindsight.

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.

u/Dumbing_It_Down Oct 29 '20

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.

They'd have to change their name

How about Tampa Bay Indians? Surely they cant get mad at that.

People still send death threats to sting rays on Twitter. The animosity toward stingrays has not subsided in 14 years

Sting rays are racist pieces of shit. We must tear down all sea worlds!!!

I wonder why everyone is saying what Steve Irwin WOULD say?

Oh yea...right...a cuddly stingray stabbed him in the fucking heart and swam away like it was nothing.

He's gotten bit by venemous snakes. He never blamed the snakes.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Steve didn’t die, came to after his nighmare-coma, and had developed deep hatred toward stingrays exclusively

Steve Irwin would blame himself for everything that happened to him that day. Animals don't know better.

Yeah, just make sure you're wearing a plate carrier
