Alright,
Steve may be the best damn croc trainer guy on the planet, but how many times has he fed the crocs with a baby in his other arm?
His mind needs to be focussed on the croc in front of him and not about the baby in his arm. He needs to have his balance and escapability ever present when hes this close to the animals. He must surely loose some of his presence of mind, balance and elusivness when hes holding a baby in the other hand.
That is what makes this stupid. All the other thousands of times hes done this hes only had to worry about his own safety. All the other times hes done this hes had use of both hands to defend himself and been able to perform whatever manuever to escape. That all goes south when he`s holding the baby.
This is assuming there’s the same level of danger as in the wild. But this croc not only knows Steve really well, he’s been in capptivity for years and he gets fed chickens every day. It’s a show, the danger is exaggerated for effect.
I’m pretty confident that the situation was, in reality, no more dangerous than the small risk of your pet cat scratching a baby. But nobody recommends never letting a cat near a baby for that small risk.
Crocodile.
Yeah, I can see the similarities. They both breathe.
You sure do learn a lot about humans when things like this happen. People seem so dazzled by celebrity in this and the Michael Jackson case that they’re not caring a whit about the poor baby in each case. It’s sick. Really sick.
As attorney Ron Kuby pointed out, he does take his daughter out in public,. He doesn’t take her to see his clients in prison for child molesting, rape and murder.
Parents drive in a car with their children. They don’t drive in the Indy 500 with them.
A cat could scratch a baby. A croc could eat him.
Irwin’s stupidest line: I was in total control of the situation. He doesn’t know that no human is in total control around any animal?
