This is really such a terrible event. I can't believe the Croc Hunter is dead, and it is ironic that it was a stingray and not one of those giant reptiles that he is always cuddling with. I almost feel like a friend died and I wasn't even a huge follower of his shows or anything. He was by far the only reason my TV set ever tuned into the Animal Planet channel. It is way too hard to watch those ASPCA shows with all the neglected animals, but he was certainly the bright spot in the animal world and is the reason I know way too much about animals that I will never see without the use of a television or computer. If only all of us had half of his enthusiasm and caring for the other inhabitants of this planet.
RIP
