oh and re: this.
i was watching discovery channel the other week.. had a shark special on it. anyway this scientist guy who has specialised in sharks his entire life was standing in knee depth water showing some people a school of bull sharks.. quite happily talking and laughing nothing out of the ordinary for him ... showing off in a way.. next thing u see the guy getting dragged along by a shark.. ripped his leg apart.. something that shouldnt happen? trained professional who knows his surroundings and shark responses?

ahh it was a funny to se steve on ACA, he made a complete ass of himself.... i think he should have poped a few valium's before tackling this one. He was talking about his father died for america and austrlia and democracy at one stage wtf!?? Meanwhile its complete media whoredome as usual blowing everything out of propotion.
The thing tht shitted me most about this was that when it wasa first reported it was in a "how sweet, feeding crocs with bubby" feel. Next day appears in US, there is outrage, so next day in aus i see the same whore of a news reader say it was an outrage when the before there was nothing wrong with it!!!

Sharks and crocs are different animals and have different behavioural patterns

Steve should run for president.......any kind of publicity, good or bad, is publicity. In Steve's case, it's all free! great way to boost his profile and persona!

You have to realise that a crocodile is not like a dog or something. No matter how much kindness you give them, they will still attack you. So Steve being in control is pretty false IMO.

Yeh very true, but that experience definetly doesn't guarantee safety.

As I said before, a crocodile kills by lurking in the water un-noticed, bursting out of the water and grabbing something in its jaws before the animal even knows it's there.
Clearly this wasn't going to happen when the croc is lumbering around the enclosure straight after being fed.
Nevermind that there is another video showing several handlers standing around the edges of the pen with stun guns....

i think the point is, something could of gone wrong, but it didnt, so let it go... also whats to say that the croc would go 4 the baby rather than steve? im sure steve would be a prefered meal 4 the croc...
