Reading about Steve Irwin's conservation efforts and hearing about motivational speeches he gave really inspired me. His act, although fun in itself, was always a tool to obtain the funds he needed to buy the land for his conservation efforts. Someone who was willing to act like a fucking idiot on international television in order to conserve australian wildlife certainly has my respect. I never enjoyed his persona and was never interested in the Crocodile Hunter as an entertainer. But Steve Irwin was someone who I greatly admired and respected as a person.
