Animals who can maim or kill with their bite? Like, say, a dog?
I’ve seen Irwin feeding the crocs at the zoo and my blood runs cold at the very idea of taking a tiny baby into those enclosures. The crocs do lunge for the food, handlers at the zoo have been hurt in the past but ultimately it comes down why the fuck would you do it? I’m just not seeing why this was necessary or a good idea.
What the fuck is wrong with the name Bob?!?!
calm down.
Bindi Sue was so exotic, you figure the boy would be equally so; something like Bonobo.
Bob’s a fine name!
Damn! Where’s that croc eating small child smiley?
What’s so crazy? I’ve thought about feeding my son to a crockodile any number of times, its just that your basic tropical reptile is kinda rare in these parts. That, and the fact that for the last five years or so, it would be even money on the crock.
Yes, like a dog. Any responsible parent is cautious when taking a small child around a dog, especially a baby who is prone to making sudden noises which might startle and frighten even a kind housepet.
My dog has lived with me for nearly ten years. Nevertheless, when my babies were born, the dog was kept at a safe distance from them for a few days, then slowly are carefully introduced. I know my animal, yet I couldn’t be assured of how he would behave under new circumstances.
Did Irwin know this croc as well as I know Spunky the Bitchen Bichon? I doubt it. Did he take due care with his precious infant son around that croc? Absofuckinlutely not. He would’ve been out of line to have done what he did with a small household dog. With a crocodile, he was out of his mind, and his fitness as a parent is significantly called into question. (As is his wife’s, as it seems that she handed the baby to him and looked on admiringly as this nonsense went on.)
If it’s any consolation your joke was much more fully realized than my half-witted comment. I just posted the first dumb thing that came to mind. (Which is not at all unusual.)
Ah-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~!
sigh See, this is why we need to be able to edit our own posts. Sorry about that. If a mod happens by with some of their limited free time and wants to put a space in there or delete a chunk of “ha”'s it would be most appreciated.
Come down to the Everglades, pick up a baby croc or alligator, let it make it’s distress call and then tell me how much of a threat the mother is when she comes out to see about her baby.
Well, BonoboBob, does have a certain ring to it.
Okay natural selection, what the fuck?!?!
It’s not like the genetically deficient aren’t doing their job. They’re out there, working hard, providing you with every possible chance to eliminate their genes for good. And what are you doing? Why, you’re SITTING ON YOUR FAT, LAZY, ABSTRACT ASS! That’s what you’re doing! Get the fuck in the game and start picking some of these fuckwads off, preferably before breeding age!
laigle, you may want to start taking your medication again… 
But then the anger fairy won’t come out and play with me any more!

I think the guys getting a bum rap. I saw the video, he’s not “dangling” the baby like a Crocky Snack, he has him tucked to the shoulder in standard anthropoid ape fashion, if the crock is gonna get a mouthful of people, its gonna be him, not the baby.
Besides, crocks don’t “bite” like dogs, its approach is to sieze and drag under, this crock is definitely accostomed to humans. As well, this is a guy with lots and lots of experience, so his judgement is likely pretty sound. I get the impression that what he would like to see happen is for people to see the crock as just another animal, rather than some scalely maneater.
I mean, Crikey!
I saw the footage and thought “what an idiot” but then thought “he knows what he’s doing”. On consideration it is apparent that kids are exposed to lots of risks and much of what I ended up thinking is covered by the Irwins themselves.
I don’t really care if Irwin throws his kid to the croc to get better ratings but the first sentence in that link sounds like so much BS.
So what in the fuck is holding a one month old baby while feeding a croc supposed to teach a kid about danger? Specifically, what are you able to teach a one month old baby about anything? God help Bob when it comes time for toilet training cause if dad is doing it, he’s in for a world of hurt.
So wife Terri chimes in(who looks very bad in the photo btw) and says:
Again, wtf are you able to teach a one month old child?
Steve also makes the brilliant comment:
The stupidity keeps getting worse. My wife likes his show and I didn’t mind it beyond thinking he did stupid things for no real value but now I’m thinking he is an idiot.
And of course if the croc gets a mouthful of him, he’s not going to drop the baby, or anything silly like that.

He’s famous for handling dangerous wild animals, not trained mice.
It was stupid, and pointless. Yes, lots of people expose their children to uneccessary danger, but they generally don’t do it on purpose.
