    What about the issues with Steve Irwin? There is also the “Got Autism?” campaign which was rather offensive?

    I am sure what you are saying is true, that’s why I want to know about these incidents as well to see if they are also been misrepresented.

      Not sure about the Steve vs pets thing.

      But SI was a supreme egotistical asshole that abused wild animals for publicity and fun.

        I immediately lost all respect for you after that statement. Steve Irwin was a wonderful human being that did more for conservation and nature education than 99% of people will ever do in their lives. Rest in Peace Steve

        Yeah. He rode around sticking his thumb up animals buttholes to see how wild they got. No wait. That was south park.
