I found out, that Steve Irwin, the famous Crocodile Hunter died... It was yesterday (September 4) at just after 11 am... He was shooting an underwater documentary and he got to close to a stingray and it stabbed him through the heart with it's stinger, it was the only fatal stingray attack EVER caught on film. I was a huge fan of his when I was younger, I used to sneak downstairs at 12 am just to watch his show, he was amazing. I loved his strong aussie accent and his catchphrase, I feel really bad for his wife and kids, he was only 44. He even had a turtle named after him, called "Irwin's turtle" I can't remember the other name for it... I was pretty depressed about hearing what happened and I told my dad, and he's like "Oh yeah! That's the thing I wanted to tell you!" Ugh.. damn dad... forgets to tell me one of my most favourite people from TV died... So I thought that drawing a memorial picture would help, I started it around.. 11 something and finished around 1... I didn't get to submit it on the ACTUAL day.. but I'm close enough.. Anyways, the paragraph in the backround is a speech he did,

"These Hitlers use the camouflage of science to make money out of animals... So whenever they murder our animals and call it sustainable use, I'll fight it. Since when has killing a wild animal, eating it or wearing it, ever saved a species? There are people who butt out their cigarettes in gorilla-paw ashtrays, with wastepaper baskets that were once elephant feet, who have ivory ornaments… who wear cheetah fur. Don't buy these things! Then there'll be no market and the animals won't be killed. We have domesticated livestock raised for consumption and perfectly good fake leather and fur, so why must we kill wild animals to satisfy the macabre taste of some rich person?" - Steve Irwin

I thought it would be good to put that in there because it's all true!! I sure wish he didn't die, but I hope he rests in peace...
