CULTURE: Humans fight back against their deadliest enemy - The Stingray

Humans hate getting killed, and when one of their own meets the grizzly end, they don't take it sitting down.

In retribution for the murder of one of mankind's ambassadors to the ocean, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, some folks in the Queensland State of Australia have turned to cold blooded revenge.

At least 10 Stingrays have been found dead on local beaches there, in some cases with the tails cut off, but otherwise generally mutilated, in what Michael Hornby, the executive director of Irwin's conservation group Wildlife Warriors believes, are cases of retribution.

Generally bottom feeding pacifists, stingrays tend to get frightened when stepped on, and sometimes attempt to defend themselves. Steve Irwin's 'barb to the heart insta-kill' has been consistently regarded as a freak accident, and extremely rare. The obvious slaugther of the Stingrays however, is far from accidental.

Could this be the start of a long and bitter war? Hopefully not, as it would mark the end of a long lasting, peaceful coexistance between our two species.

The people killing stingrays are not Iriwn's biggest fans, but rather Irwin's dumbest.

It never ceases to amaze me how amazingly fucking stupid people can be... I sincerely hope the human race ends soon.

Fuck I hate people.

Its not all that suprising though, not long ago some asshole was shooting fur seals in Victoria, and last year another asshole stabbed a bottle nose dolphin to death just near Melbourne.

I come from Queensland and am not suprised what so ever that this is happening. People are fucked yes but there does seem to be more whack jobs than usual up north.

New conservation idea: You kill a stingray I get to kill you... and your nearest and dearest... why do I get the feeling its the only thing that'll actually work.

Hell, people, I don't know why you're getting so worried - after all, Stevo spent his entire life campaigning for the extermination of all wildlife except humanity, didn't he ??

</sarcasm>

that's just stupid. There's only one animal on Earth that deserves that kind of retribution-killing, and it's not stingrays. We all need to look deep within ourselves and realize that the ONLY animal that deserves murder of this sort are those fucking panda cubs. </sarcasm>

Killing stingrays goes against absolutely everything Steve Irwin worked towards... He would absolutely hate that this is going on.

wow just wow.

what fucking idiots

i hate people

So stupid. There's no need to kill these animals.


Just chop their tails off.

"Fear... she's the mother of violence" - Peter Gabriel

If Bush cared about wildlife, he'd have brought democracy to the stingrays by now.

Fuckin bottom feeders










no , not the stingrays

It was the same after Princess Diana died, a bunch of paparazzi washed up on Brighton beach with their cameras cut off. I almost cried, having seen many of the normally peaceful cameraman playfully snapping away at semi-exposed celebrities in their natural outside-of-nightclub habitats. Now I hear that some countries want to begin farming these placid beasts for their meaty gossip, the mind boggles....

This would never happen if the Wildlife Consevationist had been someone like Sir David Attenborough. Someone who didn't go trampling into an animal's natural environment and just grab hold of it, pissing it off big-time in the process. And all to entertain the moronic idiot section of society who think that Jackass and American Wrestling is something worth replicating. That whole rirdiculous gung-ho attitude towards everything. The cretins killing the stingrays are the same dumb fuckers that camcorder themselves doing dumb stuff. Maybe they'll be dumb enough to post their antics on YouTube or somewhere similar so thet we can track them down and mutilate them...

How do they know it isn't one man? Y'know, like a sting ray serial killer?

Of course, the whole thing could just be bullshit.

Great, Steve is now rolling over in his grave.

Fucking uneducated idiots.

Dude, you are dead wrong.

"Human beings and fish can peacefully co-exist" George W. Bush, Friday, 29 September 2000, Saginaw, Michigan.

On the other hand, it would appear to be another thing he's wrong about.

Its really sad that these people think of this as an act of retribution and everyone else sees it for what it really is, the slaughter of defenseless animals. Steve Irwin was not about hurting or killing aniamls, he was about preserving them and educating the world about how each animal is unique and interesting. I hope the idiots who are doing this and caught and punished.
