Croc Hunter
It looks like people are "taking revenge" on stingrays because of the Croc Hunters unfortunate death.

This makes me ashamed to be a human being. How can people be so thickheaded, it's awe inspiring. If we could somehow harness this stupidity and use it for energy, all of our oil problems would be solved. Yeah, I am violently against cruelty to animals, so my opinion on this might be biased, but let me try to convince you.
Steve Irwin loved animals. All he ever did is talk about how they are beautiful creatures, and never try to hurt him out of spite or malice. They are only scared, or defending themselves when they attack him. He spent his life saving, and helping animals in need, and donated heavily to animal aid foundations. Murdering animals to get revenge for his unfortunate death is an insult to everything he stood for. Having a story like this associated to Irwin is an insult to his memory.
At the beginning of every show Irwin talked about how dangerous what he does is. He said he could die at any moment. He explained in great detail how quickly a crocodile could crush his head, how fast the snakes venom would paralyze and kill him, and how a stingrays tail works. He knew the risks, and he made his show anyway. You cannot blame the stingray for stinging him. It's called a STING-ray. They don't like to be touched by humans, the poor animal was scared and did the only thing it knows how to do, sting. It was self-defense. It didn't know what this guy was doing, or thought he was trying to eat it. How can you blame it for that?
Finally, even if this particular sting ray was "evil" and wanted to murder Irwin. I hope it's clear why punishing a whole species for the "crimes" of one being is immoral. This stingray might have been a "bad seed" or "black sheep" of the stingray species. Killing this stingrays family and friends doesn't solve or help anyone. Except for maybe ruin the ecosystem, if you're lucky.
People need to be stopped. Every day it gets worse.
