Stingrays

The stupidity of the human race will never cease to astound me.
Up to 11 stingrays have been found dead and mutilated on Australia's eastern coast since the Crocodile Hunter's death, prompting fears that Irwin's fans are exacting their revenge on the normally docile fish.
...
The fact that the tails and barbs of several of the animals were lopped off has environmentalists worried.

Michael Hornby, the executive director of Irwin's conservation group, Wildlife Warriors, said he feared the rays were being hunted and killed in retaliation for the TV star's death.
(By the way, while not a huge Steve Irwin follower, I think his death is sad and absolutely newsworthy. I'm not one of those people.)

  1. Yeah, because I am sure Irwin would be quite happy knowing that people were ruthlessly killing animals. That goes against everything he was for.
