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.
"It may be some sort of retribution, or it may be fear from certain individuals, or it just may be yet another callous act toward wildlife,"....
He said killing stingrays was "not what Steve was about."
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.
"We are disgusted and disappointed that people would take this sort of action to hurt wildlife," he said.
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.
