As far as I understand, Steve-o Irwin brought awareness of animal life. He became a national treasure. We loved him - we still love him. I actually have an action figure of him (Night Rescue) still in the package. PETA's angle has always been to segregate us from wildlife or hypocritically send the message of animals being victims - Irwin saved many animals. So fuck PETA.. Steve's heart was always in the right place and I will always respect him and his work.
"Have a look at this little beauty!!" 💛🐍🐊🐢🇦🇺
Yeah fuck PETA they're DANGER DANGER DANGER!!!!!!! lol
Steven Irwin is and always has been my hero. Fuck you PETA
Bill Cosby and Michael Jackson were national treasures.
He is not just a national hero but an international one, I can't think of a single person who hates him except peta
@@HArryvajonas ...comparing pedophiles and rapists to animal enthusiasts...youre bloody lost, mate. 🤣🤣
Peta fired shots at steve
The internet fired nukes at peta
Cuz PETAs bad m’kay
I dont think the world has ever United in such away against a common enemy i guess peta actually did something good
*We fired planets at the demons, known as “PETA”*
we took the shot, dug out the bullets and fire it back at them
They might be destroyed in this month do there doomed
Steve Irwin is still who I want to be when I grow up, even though I am 35 and am considered "grown up".
We're never grown up when we talk about Steve Irwin
Ah life was so simple as a child
@Yes I left TH-cam for good. Awww someone's a bit cranky did you wake up from ya nappy
Picket Pants so you want to be dead
@Yes I left TH-cam for good. fuck off u bitch
The irony is that Stevo did more as a spokesperson for wild animals than PETA ever has. What small kid ever wanted to protect animals because of PETA? A whole generation did thanks to The Crocodile Hunter!
The irony is that Robert and bindi Irwin has done more than peta
I actually know a lot of people who have a love of animals thanks to Peta
PETA's use of shock value is what separates them as an educator from Steve Irwin,imo
To go after a DEAD man who dedicated his life to animals and people learning about animals is all kinds of low. Irwin was a god damn Legend. People learned more about animals from him than anyone else...and it looks like his son might be willing to be as crazy as he was lol. I love it. He's also the spitting image of his father holy crap. Sooo in a weird way its like Steve never left us. :,)
Official statistics released by Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) through freedom of information requests, PETA's shelter killed 94.8% of all animals they took in from 2007 to 2011 - a total of over 10,300 animals. According to the article I read PETA employees kill 84% of animals in their custody within 24 hours, clearly making no effort whatsoever to find any solution but the slaughter of mostly healthy pets. PETA are evil hypocrites.
I learned more about respecting animals from Steve-o than I did PETA, the wanks!
@Sandcastle • PETA member spotted
@Sandcastle • oh yeah, I'm not a fucking idiot, I know that all shelters put down healthy animals. But apparently no other shelter in Virginia had a rate above 70% during the same time period. They compared 9 other shelters in Virginia to PETA's: only 2 of them had a rate above 50%. A newer article mentions PETA's 2014 rate is 81% and references that "In some prior years, that rate has risen above 90 percent." Seriously, it's not hard to find this stuff online, so don't just accuse me of bullshit because you don't like what I'm saying.
His daughter has been doing the same longer than Robert. Both are extremely charming, humble and passionate about animals like both parents.
I once watched Steve Irwin crying over a small lizard he found on the side of the road while traveling to do his show. The lizard was burned in a brush fire and was dying. It is still one of the most powerful things iv ever saw on television. Anyone that says Steve Irwin did not completely love and respect ALL animals, be it in the wild or in captivity has no idea what they are talking about. RIP Steve, we miss you.
I am a conservation biologist. Whenever I go to forests and jungles I leave the animals alone as much as possible and so do my colleagues who go to extreme lengths to ensure that. And all of us were hugely inspired by Steve and his TV shows. If he did send a dangerous and fawning message, did we get it completely wrong? He was an amazing educator and he needed to handle animals to inspire bunch of us.
so peta are wrong? yes no yes no yes... yes... cheers avadhoot fair dimcum good on ya and keep saving the trees mate
the sting ray felt otherwise.
@@kingsurf_1431 steve would have forgiven the little sea pancake
animals well-being, rights and freedom are far more superior over your needs in motivation. Read self-motivating mantras! Find a personal development coach!
Animals are here NOT for your bloody motivation. They have their own lives.
Are you listening to yourself? I said Steve inspired me to get into conservation biology. He was not harassing animals. Conservation biologists all over the world fight against their local governments, corporates, hunters etc to make sure animals are left alone. And Steve taught us that. Take your self righteousness and your peta and tell this to pesticide companies who's sole purpose is to find more and more efficient ways to kill rats, lizards, mosquitos and cocroachss and other agricultural pests. They have same rights for well being and freedom and need your pity more.
Steve is and has always been one of my favorites, I dressed up like him. Several times. Always known that he has done nothing but love and protect animals. Thank you Ozzy man for your tributes to this great man and his legacy!
The man had a heart of gold for the animals' well-being. PETA should be ashamed to smear his name especially when the man is deceased.
And they were trying to smear his name on his Birthday
Especially given how sketchy they are with their handling of animals, killing thousands per year, and they have had employees charged with animal cruelty for dumping dead dogs and cats in a shopping center garbage bin, just to name one incident where they were caught, god knows what shady shit they're doing behind the scenes. Proper Egotistical Twats Assembly
It makes it easier to smear someone when they can't defend themselves though. Am i right PETA, you fucking pieces of shit.
Also peta kill more animals than anyone else in their rescue centres so they cant talk
I've normally supported Peta until Now. Petas Extra low bashing a great man who dedicated his life to animal conservation. What a f#$& move for Peta.
People from my generation, born in 90s, love Steve Irwin. We grew up watching him. He's an icon. Love from India.
R.I.P.
2000s
90s kid and I watched him whenever I could on discovery channel, and I still have his movie. RIP Steve
Born in 75. Love some Steve Irwin here.
PETA released lobsters into the Missouri River.
Lobsters are saltwater.
The Missouri River is freshwater.
Do you think peta knows the difference or anything about lobsters?
@Partha Pratim Das
No
They should ask Jordan Peterson about how lobsters work. :P
@@realtruth159 No. That would be cruel.

They should be fed to their vegan crops, as finely shredded mulch.
@@dreamwolf7302 You, my man, have won over the internet.
It was a freak accident,this man loved this wife & children,most of all he loved his job,miss you Steve ❤️
PETA needs to find a new target. What about the millions of dollars the Irwin family has generated for conservation and all the money they have used to buy land so the animals habitats aren’t destroyed. PETA has gone way too far this time. The Irwin’s take animals on tv to teach people about conservation and how to preserve it for the animals. While we all find it adorable to look at the animals there is always an awesome message behind it
Or the giant wind turbine that kills millions of birds.
@@thelazycook5103 pigeon blood must be shed for the continuation of clean energy
@@thelazycook5103 'millions' lolololololol okay.
@@thelazycook5103 I don't think they actually kill that many birds, they do however, kill bats, as the pressure differential caused by the rotor wash cause then to essentially fall out of the sky.
@@SulJR north America alone at least 300k+ birds a year. Multiply that by how many countries have wind turbines. Let's say 10 country that's that's 3 million. I didn't know it kills bats too.
You don't see Peta rescuing animals from the brushfires...
Peta likes to see animals die. If it isn't happening they kill them themselves.
Actually peta wouldn't rescue them and they would instead say. "At least their in their natural habitat"
@@animaliasking3431 haha!! Correct!!
Why would they ?
@@Christinebanks11 Because they act like the wild is the best place just cuz it's natural even though it's so unpredictable and dangerous
Steve Irwin: Spends a lifetime dedicating himself to conservation of wildlife.
PETA: Attempts to say he was mean to animals while simultaneously stealing rabbits from little girls and killing them.
What did he do for wildlife conservation exactly? Serious question?
@@elizabethblackwell6242 setup conservation projects all over Australia (particularly for endangered species), produced several TV shows showcasing animals while constantly talking about conservation.
Rather than shooting problem crocs, he relocated/rehomed these crocs into areas where they wouldn't be problems and wouldn't be at risk of bullets.
He was also a strong environmentalist. His fortune allowed him to purchase large areas of land all over the world which he basically turned into privately-owned national parks - sanctuaries.
@@elizabethblackwell6242 He literally created entire private national parks for protected wildlife. He also started the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital which has been extremely hemlpful especially since those wildfires started. Most crocs on agricultural land are shot but Steve introduced the idea of catching and relocating them to the public. He inspired many modern zoologists and environmentalists to work with animals as kids. He had many captive breeding programs which helped save species all over the world.
What did PETA do:
1. Steal kids pet bunnies to kill because "they would rather be dead than in a household"
2. Freeze and kills hundreds or even thousands of dogs and cats and try to cover it up.
3. Release invasive species back into a lake because "all animals deserve to live no matter where they are"
@@rayyanibrahim451 What part of federal or state legislation would allow a private individual or organisation to "literally create entire national parks"?
@@elizabethblackwell6242 Its not exactly a national park but a bunch of privately owned protected land. Sorry for the bad wording there :)
Here is the proof:

Guy loved animals more than humans and I loved watching him as a kid. rip Steve
I’m a wildlife science major, and one of the first things we talked about in Intro to fisheries and wildlife class was how PETA’s policies, if carried out on a mass scale, would result in rampant disease, starvation, and suffering, as well as many possible extinctions of certain species that require human interaction to recover from population decline. PETA really doesn’t know wtf it’s talking about. Steve Irwin did handle animals a lot, but the benefits of making people care are so great, it’s a negligible sacrifice in comparison.
@Nick Fletcher. i'm no wildlife expert, but there are critically endangered animals that if not for the efforts of wildlife preserves would've been hunted to extinction by poachers years ago, the northern white rhino being the most well known of these. although with the last male northern white rhino passing away last year, the species will go extinct once the last 2 remaining females pass away
Curious out that as will.
@@silencexc thats heavy
PETA disagrees with the culling of foxes in Australia, which are an introduced species and predator to a whole range of native Australian species that are not equipped or designed to defend against a large predator like a fox. If PETA had their way we would have nothing but foxes (and feral cats) left in the future.
@@silencexc I love rhinos so that's fucking heartbreaking to hear.
I'd trust Steve Irwin with my cat while feeding crocodile long before I'd trust my cat with PETA
What's a crocus?
@@CalamityM God damn autocorrect....
me as well. they would try feeding my cat a vegan diet...
They'd kill your cat. They don't believe in having pets
They would just euthanize it that's what PETA does with animals they take in, in there grand vision any animal that has had human contact is tainted and is put down... I wish I was lying but I'm NOT...Penn & Teller did a show on it...they are sick demented people!
That interview where he said "money? I cant get enough of it... ill spend every dollar on buying land for these animals" this man cared about the world and its animals. He wasnt just an aussie treasure, he was a world treasure.
Steve is my hero for saving animals. He dedicated his life for educating people about wild life, because of him so many people are not afraid of reptiles and don't tend to just kill them. PETA is sick organization
Peta is literally against mass animal torture and subjegation..
He is my hero too he's a lot of people's hero
@@wildlifewarrior2670exactly. He loved all animals, bless Steve.
Just when PETA couldn't sink any lower, they pull out the shovel and start digging. Steve Irwin was a legend.
They already dug a grave, they jumped into it once they started to shit on a respectful guy who has been DEAD for years.
@@movedchannels1654 True. I can't believe they even have a following still.
@@ArmednotTriggered yeh, but then again, people will believe anything as long as it has something to do with what they like...
Their social media person must have been extremely bored that day.
Steve is great and I don't want to pull away any of the importance of the backlash PETA has gotten for making fun of him. However, its kind of annoying no one gave a shit that PETA kills most of the animals they "rescue" as well as go out of their way to steal peoples pets just to kill them *FOR YEARS.* I love Steve, he deserves all the respect in the world, but fuck me, how is a dumb tweet the thing that put them in the grave...
Very little pleases me more than listening to Ozzy Man say ‘google doodle’.
I concur with this statement.
GOODLEDOOGLE..

Steph Anie how about Izzy flaming peta
Lmfao facts.
@Yes I left TH-cam for good. Dude, chill. What's your problem?
Boy PETA sure does hate the Irwins. That immediately makes me side with the Irwins.
Right, their on the same team trying to attack what is possibly the most famous australian and almost certainly the most respected is such a weird move.
@@assiaisindegyara4905 it's cause PETA doesn't give a shit about the animals they say they want to protect.
@@assiaisindegyara4905 It gets them attention.
Honestly, if peta and Hitler were in a room together and I had two bullets...
Ok maybe not that far but
It's funny that one of the "whale wars" vessels is named the Steve Irwin. They'll use his name to promote and for fundraising, but then trash him. peta is just another group that only bitches about others, in order to raise money for ads and lawsuits. The real conversations are the ones buying back habitat and allowing the animals to flourish.
Little Bob being tottered along the grass is so cute! His dad would be incredibly proud of both Robert and bindi 🙏🏻
Ozzyman, you're a bloody legend!! Your arguments for and against were excellent. You didn't villify PETA, you paid respect to their view, and put forward a great case for Steve Irwin. You called out the emotional language that PETA used and you raised some of the grey areas in Steve Irwin's approach, as well as the grey areas of PETA's comments. This is fantastic. Thank you for bringing some common sense to the shit storm that is the internet.
PeTA vilifies itself on a daily basis anyways
F*** PETA, Steve Irwin was one hell of a conservationist. He knew what he was doing was dangerous, but he loved the animals so much that he wanted everyone to share his enthusiasm. ❤️ from USA!
🇦🇺😀
I agree.

@@reservoirfrogs2177 he ate meat, of course he was destroying their habitats...!
@@vfta7906 you may want to try for the olympics because that was a very long jump you made there
@@vfta7906 exploitation of a resource is a part of the management of said resource. Take an ecology course
This is still one of the best moments in internet history. I never thought I would witness an organization get dragged and get their asses kicked all over the internet like PETA did.
Having spent nearly 25 years of my life growing up on a farm, I'm very willing to say that PETA seems to know very little about animals and hiw to best take care of them. More interested in their own ideology than the actual living circumstances of the creatures they make a lot of noise over.
They don't. I talked to a board member once when we were both at a conference. Everyone was at the pre-conference mixer and he commented on my leather pants so of course I sat right next to him and challenged him on PETA killing 90+% of the animals in his shelter. He bet me $5000 to the charity of my choice that I could not prove it with a mainstream source. We then got to talking about PETA's stunts. They are under the mistaken impression that there's no such thing as bad press. They do the stunts to fundraise and access hollywood and DC. I told him that every single one of my friends want absolutely nothing to do with PETA because it's such a fake org. When I got home, I emailed the article from the local paper that blew the cover off their slaughterhouse. He admitted that I proved it. No, the charity of my choice did NOT get that $5000.
He told me to enjoy my leather pants. I told him I was going to enjoy a big juicy steak in a couple of hours too.
PETA and their supporters don't actually care about animals and environment all they care about is fulfilling their hero complex and self-righteous fantasy. They also don't even know how biology and nature work given how they force cats and dogs who are carnivores into vegan lifestyle, releasing saltwater lobsters to a river which killed those lobsters, and how they thought shutting down farms and adopting millions of farm animals or releasing them into the wild is a good idea
While I find you undoubtedly one of the funniest and most entertaining people on all of TH-cam, this segment is another big reason I am an avid fan, Ozzy Man. Your level-headed, nuanced approach to various subjects is in short supply these days and it is incredibly refreshing and impressive.
PETA is a prime example of initial good intentions and activism that shits in its own bed. Their early work against laboratory animal testing, crafting the Animal Welfare Act, bringing awareness and positive change to the abuse of animals in film, etc. was excellent and commendable. But then, for whatever reasons, they began devolving into a fanatical organization that lost all sense and perspective.
Keep up the great work, you lovely bastard; really looking forward to seeing you and Mozza returning on Catch Up.
Do you know why? its because fights dissapear with time and someone who has a "cause" will look for it, thats why feminism once was about womens rights and is todoy about just pandering to women and shitty feelings, while tottaly ignoring the other gender.
Bluberry
Feminism is very relevant today, if more nuanced than before.
Not to say that everything that is promoted is right, but to say that societal prejudice doesn’t exist is false. That’s what feminism is about now- the deeper and more intricate workings of society, the messages children are given and the things they are taught about themselves, their bodies and their possibilities.
As a guy, I can very much see why feminism is important.
Feminism is not relevant today, you dont have to be a feminist to belive in equality or human rights.
Feminists ignore the male gender, infact they keep speaking of males as if they are potential rapeists just for being males.
Great way of makeing little male children grow up hateing themselves.
Strange how femnists are all up in arms when a man kills his wife, but when a woman kills her three children and herself, SILENCE!!
Strange how they want equality but they dont want to be accountable as men.
Ohh so a man raped a 14 year old with his wife, he gets 6 years but she gets 1 year, where were the outrage then?
No fuck todays feminism, these feminists talk about how men do this and that, yet they dont have the balls to protest in areas that are being controlled by islamic beliefs.
@@zain4019 Feminists sound and say the exact same kind of shit and rethoric as nazis say about immigrants.
Bluberry
Feminism is an ideology that pushes for equality of the sexes, no more, no less. I support feminism completely, as do many others.
I believe you do as well, but you’re conflating feminism with a more radical ideology.
Isolated incidents are not indicators of the general view of society- extreme things from all groups take place from all sides of the political spectrum.
We all deserve love. All of us. That’s what feminism stands for, and I stand with it. I want my daughter to one day grow up in a world who accepts her, just as I would for my son.
Take care and I hope you see the word through a compassionate lens:)
Steve Erwin: Rescue and Relocate animals.
PETA: Rescue and Euthenise animals.
😂
Steal and euthanize pets
jeez that's true as fuck

You can't call that "rescueing". Thats the same as a cow on transport going to the slaugher
Steve was the greatest conservationist ever and entertained the audience while doing it.
Exactly how many professional conservationists are you familiar with? That's what I thought.
@@generalyellor8188How many are you familiar with? Also, what are the credentials of a "professional" conservationist? Ya, that's what I thought. 🙄

Maybe Ozzy Man can review some good BBQ recipes next time :-)
Steve was not just an Australian icon, he was a treasure to the world. You defended him well, mate, good on ya!
He really was. Such a genuine and top bloke. International treasure!
I disagree from Germany. Not my treasure. Just a guy who wrestled animals for the camera. You can help animals without wrestle yourself in the spotlight. Millions of people do that everyday without harassing animals.
@@Moritz19081980 He never wrestled, he only did that in rescues to subdue them, he didn't hurt them, peta made him look terrible, but he's a treasure, he one risked his life to save a snake from a person with a gun, Go away, He was an amazing man and you're believing the lies of the company called p.e.t.a that kills 80% of the animals that comes in, and stole a dog from a little girl and killed it, and only said sorry
@@striderwhiston9897 So the TV show I saw was just in my mind? Where he regularly "wrestled" animals for no reason. I am sure he did a lot of good for animals. But in his show he jumped on animals just to show them in the camera and make it look more spectacular. If you like this way of animal treatment it's okay.
@@Moritz19081980 lemme guess you're a little kid or a peta worker, he never hurt the animals, he only did stuff like that in special cases, If you're blind it's okay, if you're mentally disabled it's okay, if you're a kid it's okay.
I actually wrote my high school senior year essay about the impact and legacy that ol Steve-o left behind. He's still beloved by people around the world. Here in Texas especially.
next time a Florida or Louisiana family has a gater problem... Call PETA for help lol lol
Steve and his whole family are held in high regard here in canda, Queen should have knighted him years ago!!
Can you get posthumously nighted?? Bc he fucking should be
That is NOT Steve-O dummy 😜
Thanks for your well thought out and respectful video on PETA’s picking on Steve Irwin, which was wrong of PETA in so many ways.
Steve's son is gonna carry out the legacy he started. He is already quite a character.
Have you forgotten Bindi?
Bindi is doing amazing work too
It was different times back then. Peta should know better. Dragging the reputation of a dead guy is pathetic.

Not so different. Irwin was criticised in the same way when he was alive. Most folks thought he was a fool. It was after his death he became a hero.

Steve Irwin the only guy i knew that would go out on an adventure and come back with Animal poop in his shirt pocket like he found a treasure , Hilarious
Fun fact: Steve “took” the animals from their habitats SAVING them because their habitats where suffering from habitat loss from construction so Steve was helping the animals. Meaning peta didn’t do any research at all. And all Steve did was relocate the animals to another habitat that was perfect for the animals
Edit: btw I didn’t make this up, I recently read a book about steve. And the reason he “wrestled” the animals because they resisted leaving their dying habitat

Exactly. Thanks for saying that.
@TJ_ the_Insane What toddlers are you around mate?
Way to go PETA... go after a dead man who also happens to have been one of the most beloved people of all-time and universally known as an animal lover. Any tiny shred of credibility you still had is now gone.
They had credibility?
I only know PETA as the organisation that protested against fur as fashion. So I guess they have done some good.
To be fair tho... pete did accomplish one thing.
They got a bunch of people who generally dont get along, to unite against PETA.
Its been 3 years, and what they said still PISSES ME OFF
Steve did more for animals then peta ever did in my opinion.
in terms of numbers peta did a more. 14k more dead dogs + other shit. while steve only bothered a hundred or so stray dangerous wildlife to save them from harm
Steve was an "ecotainment" idiot and YOU swallowed it. It led to his stupid death because he scared the $hit out of it and managed to become only the second aussie in history to die from Stingray........
That's the truth
That's not an opinion because that is a FACT
Steve Irwin: 90% Animals saved
Peta: 90% Animals Died.
PETA: *Attacks the great Steve Irwin*
The Internet: "So .... you have chosen Death?"
@Jace The Man It is NOT true, it is just a load of shit that Peta pulled out their ass. Unless you have seen the footage of him "harassing" the ray, which no one has, you should not be smearing this shit all over the internet.
@Jace The Man Goal Posts moved
@Jace The Man so Irwin swam over the ray.. ..so im not sure it could be called "harrassing a ray" certainly it may have been a bit bothered but rays are typically skiddish and would jsut swim away.. that was that planned shot..as the stingray will often lose the barb in the attack so using the barb is of last resort.. often the barb is only deployed when the a ray is stepped on.. .. but unpredictably the ray attacked.. wild animals can do wild things.. but to say he harrassed the ray into attacking is a bit of a stretch.. he was careless for a moment... and horribly unlucky.. i mean the barb hit him in the heart.. it easily could have been lodged in a rib .. just it somehow slipped thru...just terribly unlucky and sad.. perhaps he was a bit eccentric and a risk taker at times... but in no way does/should that damn his character... Steve Irwin is a legend and saint amongst those whom care for the well being of animals and the natural world ..
Ahh we found a PETA employee here I guess.
Love this comment.
I remember when I was little, watching a Steve Irwin documentary with my cousin's.
We couldn't understand the language , but we still watched because of the passion he showed.
It was very educational. We have a lot of snakes here and it helped my cousin get away from an encounter.
I teared up hearing steveo's voice, i miss him so much and the world is a much duller place without him. He was and still is a wildlife legend.
May you rest in Peace Steve, we miss and Love You. You taught us so much about the wild world...
I miss him everyday
@Wildlife Warrior thank you for bringing me back here today.. i needed too watch this for a good vibe.
Love yal. Be safe and stay Blessed 🙌
Steve Irwin is everyone's hero
Id also much rather this man dangle me around a deadly dangerous one shoter type animal, than any other mfer on earth. Never met the dude personally but i grew up with him and saw much of his personal life through his movies, i trust someone with a soul such as his, the man was full of Light and Love. And the ENTIRE world can see this in his handling of animals and his child. He would have rather fed his own arm too that croc then his babe be harmed.
We do Love you Stevo

Peta also lied to pet owners looking to rehome pets, then euthanized them before getting a block away. They have commercial freezers in their main office full of euthanized pets.
Peta groups were caught dumping dogs and puppies they put down into a grocery store dumpster.
'then euthanized them before getting a block away. '
No need to lie ffs....
@@billcar6805 its a exagratued they euthanizize them before they leave the store
Not only to pet owners, but to animal shelters and vet clinics. Vets and ACOs have testified in court that they were told by peta that they would find great homes for the animals they took after they were spayed & neutered. All lies.
The animals were euthanized in the peta vans and dumped in dumpsters before they crossed the state line back to VA.
Anyone who volunteers in animal rescue hates peta. I'm in VA (the state they're based in) and I've dealt with them first hand. And I'm part of a group of volunteers who pickup animals in in poor areas and drive them to rescues in areas with better funding. We're not paid for the time, fuel or wear and tear to our personal vehicles. Peta pays their employees and they use company vehicles fueled with company funds. So, yeah. It's not an exaggeration that they kill the animals they take from people right after pulling out of the parking lot.
@@billcar6805 ur totally clueless. peta done far worse. they rounded up all the stray dogs in a city whose name eludes me, then they left them all in cages to starve to death. something like 40000 dogs they left to die in cages in agony. peta is evil. peta supporters are idiots or evil too
They have a mobile kill- facility . Yes, they do They don’t re-home , they kill . The dogs are not going to a kennel for potential adoption, there is no such thing as a PETA adoption center.
Go Ozzy Man. Steve Irwin was an amazing person. I loved watching him on tv and was heartbroken when I heard of his death. His wife and children have done a great job keeping his legacy alive. I hope everyone in PETA gets the fleas of a 1000 camels for putting Steve down.
I remember watching him when i was a kid. I always want to see one of his live shows in Australia.
You can take that insult /curse a bit further and say “may the fleas on a thousands camels infest their crotch”. 👍🏻
Actually he taught us everything we needed to know. From habitat to habits. Yes he interacted with them but he was a nature boy and very respectful. He showed us what they were capable of and the dangers of various species both to us and them. He wanted us to appreciate all creatures but to ultimately leave them be and protect their homes ,he also raised his children to love and respect all animals. That's a legendary legacy he left his children and to us. Why shit on a great man when most of us will leave this world never to be remembered, never doing anything really worthwhile, when this man is now a true legend known for a heart bigger than the world and big balls of steel.
Steve Irwin did good works that carries through with his children Bindi, and Robert, & widow Teri. The Irwins rule!
The best part is, Robert has the same charisma his father had.
I love animals, but that guy was a complete dick head
Steve Irwin was where my passion for animals came from as a kid and is why I am in vet school today
I’m not Australian but I’m sure Australians will agree that Steve is a national treasure stop being triggered peta !!!

I don't know how I missed this one at the time, but I knew Steve personally & he was a bloke with a big heart and loved animals and the protection of them. PETA is 100% wrong and probably jealous and wanting their own publicity.
Steve Irwin was a great human being. He would save any species of animal❤. He has done more than PETA will ever do. PETA has no right to say bad things about hi m.
PETA deserves the blowback they're getting cause IRWIN IS THE MAN! AND GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY TOO!
Well... generally speaking, it's considered VERY POOR FORM to attack the dead as they cannot defend themselves...
@@sasbetasquadron873 Generally speaking, PETA has done nothing *not* in bad form.
Nice one, I'm brand new to ozzy man and I clicked on this from the Mexican weather girls. great to see you going a bit deeper there and "unpacking" an issue. You're a great "unpacker" mate.
Steve Irwin was a shining beacon of humanity. He was sincere, honest, and deeply committed to wildlife conservation. PETA has stooped way too low this time. I would donate to Steve's conservation fund any day rather than give one penny to PETA, which became over-commercialized long, long ago.
Shame on you PETA. If I wasn't on a social media platform, I would have several choice words for you.

He just calmly talked about what didn't make sense/what was hypocritical in their words. Bravo Ozzyman, we need more people like you.
#Ozzyman:Australia'sothernationaltreasure
That is a very level headed and balanced view of this situation. Something that is a bit rare on the internet! I do get PETA'S point about not exploiting animals but it feels like they are exploiting the Irwin's fame for their own purposes in this particular case. Like you said I don't think we should discount the benefits of getting people interested in conservation even if it means that some animals will be exploited to accomplish this. It is a complex debate, and I would agree that in this instance PETA seems to be reacting emotionally rather than engaging in an intellectual debate on the issue.
Steeve Irwin did not exploit animals ...plain and simple
PETA is the worst.
PETA does more harm than good for their cause. It causes people to not take the cause seriously.
PETA... The one thing both vegans and non-vegans can hate together
Gilles DesRosiers PETA and nearly everyone else today (on a lesser degree) confuse humans with animals. There is no harrasing or "exploiting" animals in a somehow similar sense as with people. Not at all. Whatever complex behaviour we evolved to socialize and put our emotions into, these social mechanisms are for people and we're not even sure how to handle that properly. Animals get eaten alive and are played with for fun by other animals They have no consciousness for the most part and there's nothing evil about animals killing another animal, that's nature - It's killed and be killed out there and we come with our "harrassing" and "Exploiting" when someone's holding an animal for EDUCATION. Everyone's a victim, even a fucking snake - yeah, stop celebrating the guy that has the balls to jump on a FUCKING CROCODILE, focus on the poor exploited and harrassed crocodile. We have gone mad with empathy and pity and that makes us miserable, weak and this whole peta thing is ridiculous.
The "sensible" people compromising everything are not much better.
@@liamwalton4183 nazis?
PETA needs to apologize to the Irwin family for attacking Steve Irwin.

Steve Irwin understood animals better than PETA ever will
Steve Irwin has done more work for wildlife conservation than peta ever will. Steve had forgotten more information about animals than peta ever will learn.
PETA will be remembered... for being the biggest sack of dicks on the internet
Can we take a moment just to recon how Steve Irwin was such an Ozzie legend
Fair Dink-em statement!
One Australian Legend protecting the legacy of another Australian Legend! What a mint day!
Steve was literally one of the best human beings to ever walk this earth.
When we lost him the world lost an absolutely amazing and one of a kind person.
I actually got so mad when I heard they were taking hit at his character, myself as a zookeeper because of him I lost it and got on my email list and went to town ..
I hate misinformed people and the dangerous ways they act because we had an attack at our zoo not long after my emails and we lost five cow nose stingrays.
I left that facility not long ago and I couldn't imagine the frustration Steve must have felt..
Sorry for my rant I definitely got triggered over his character being attacked..
Love ya Ozz thank you for saying your calm reaction.
myself as a zookeeper - aka prison warden.
@@vfta7906 what ?
Makes no sense what you said.
In no way are we prison wardens it's actually the furthest thing from that.
If anything we most zookeepers go home at the end of the day constantly worried about the animals we look after.
Breeding programs and rehabilitation is not prison.
We save endangered species in zoos because in no way are you able to stop the loss of a species by doing nothing but you can and will wipe them out if we as zookeepers don't inform the average person as to what they are currently doing to hurt the animals they say they love so much.
As we go to work everyday knowing we get paid minimum wage and the animals are literally all we are concerned with.
So don't go thinking we are bad people trying to lockdown animals the your government is doing to you.
We are not running prisons we are running shelters for animals to get away from bad people so they don't get killed for a body part to seel so you can have something to eat to get a medical enhanced lower half.
Get your information before you think badly about zookeepers and Steve Erwin especially.
As he is the best example of what zookeepers strive to be.
@@bluewater7211 you are caging animals against their will. Breading programs = forcibly impregnating them and for who’s benefit? Their species? Give me a break. They do it to keep people coming in, an attraction. I’m sure you feel you are doing your best but honestly zoos, aquariums, Safari parks they all need to go. Perhaps we should actually respect animals and set an example of not exploiting them, then we wouldn’t need to lock them up to protect them from... us. Irwin thought he was helping, he wasn’t he simply reinforced that he could dominate and use animals as entertainment. At least Attenborough accepts he shouldn’t interfere with them.
@@vfta7906 unfortunately your wrong.
And I have people I can explain how things work at work and actually do something to help the animals I do work with.
Unless you take the time to fully understand that subject you are talking about please stop. Because some of us go through years of schooling and days and nights we don't sleep over all this.
You don't know ...
I do know. So I'm not taking another minute to try to convince you.
If you want to go after people hurting animals have a start with the chinese fishing fleet's that are doing so much damage.
Or the killing or stealing and selling of sea life for profit.
We only charge people to see the animals because it's not free to feed and house the animals and we as workers barely make enough to live.
We are not forcing them into cages in any way and that's the comment that tells me you have zero experience with the job and just have an opinion.
Unfortunately people that are thinking they are helping the animals by taking the shelter down are literally the people that will kill off a species.
This is my last reply because I genuinely have better things to do then argue a point I'll never get across to you.
Worry about yourself and don't fight against the people that are fighting to actually help the animals you want to help.
Just because you don't like something doesn't mean your right.
Please go to a university for a while to have the knowledge before you reply.
@@bluewater7211 unfortunately you need to accept that you are part of a system that is cruel. Just ask yourself if you would want to be in their position. Better to live a day as a lion rather than a life as a worm, isn’t that the saying? Imagine being that lion caged for your entire life. Buy you won’t and you can’t, in your eyes you are helping, you were trained and rather than accept your part in the depressing reality of captivity for animals you console yourself with we’re better then Chinese fishing fleets... ok.
PETA: *Coughs*
Everyone else: Shut up no one cares.
I mean but its true🤣
PETA doesn't give a crap about animals. They euthanize about 96-99% of the animals they"rescue" and use the money they raise to line their pockets. They're the worst sort of hypocrites there are. Look it up, the information is readily accessible.
*PARRY THIS YOU FUCKING CASUAL!*
Don't you just hate peta
Not even John wick pumps this many shots in to someone when they’re dead, classic
I can't believe he's been dead 14 years.
Me neither dude, I miss seeing him on TV
I still remember where I was when he died.
That Video ist 2 years old so its 16 years now
@Squilliam Fancyson ...no...its 14 years...come September it will be 15....
Same here, Richard. p.s.: Love your Alfred E. Neuman pic!😉
Peta has been sued dozens of times for flat out stealing or luring pets off people's property and then euthanizing them
imagine how many times they got away with it
and now think of what their morality really is
Let's call what PETA did to those stolen animals, what it really is. Murder!
Let's call that out for what it is, overdramatic!
Freddie Kay Google, it literally exist, and will always be in public record.....
It is no more overdramatic than they who cry murder themselves.
@@YurinanAcquiline it's not murder though, murder specifically has to do with a human killing another human and it has to do with malice, which I don't believe they actually did it with. Yes they euthanized and killed the animals but it wasn't murder.
Mind you I fucking hate PETA and they are pieces of shit, but I agree with ozzy about not being hyperbolic.
Steve irwin changed my life as a kid. I miss those shows so much...
There still running
I watch him on TH-cam now. Sometimes I just need me some Steve Irwin
Same. I studied Biology thanks to Steve.
I owe alot of my love of nature and the creatures who live there to Steve erwin
Let's save the planet yall
Fuckin right he was one of the biggest reasons I love animals so much. I couldn't wait to learn about animals from him he was one of my heroes growing up and I wish I had had the opportunity to actually meet him in person.
PETA has no right to insult Steve. Steve was an inspiration . He is an epitome of animal love.
It is harrasment to criticize someone who’s dead therefore cannot be there to defend themselves. How can you study something with just obeserving it? Change my mind. Weather and things untouchable not included.
I am Benzen hearting this coz it’s a solid discussion point. I’ll bloody ruminate.
I study my neighbour when she is in the shower, i learned the last time that touching was not a good observation technique and may result in legal difficulties.

I loved Steve Irwin as a kid got me and my cousin into anamals especially the ones we'd never see other than in zoos..
He gave us a chance to experience nature in a way that we could never have imagined...
His heart was always in the right place until unfortunately that day it wasn't RIP Steve Irwin..
THANKS FOR BEING YOU!!
MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
PETA needs to get fucked. The double chinned flabby cunts need to remember what Steve Irwin said about people being more interested in and curious about the animal world when you get them excited about and emotionally invested in them. Cause obviously rn very few if any people give actual fucks about animals these days. Most people are paying attention to Kim Jong Un or Trump or other political things while we loose over a few thousand species of multicellular organisms every day. Every marine and tropical species we lose is another medical breakthrough forever removed from our grasp. It’s also another imbalance added to the food chains of the world. All because after Steve Irwin died it became harder to do what Steve Irwin wanted which was to get people interested and curious and emotionally invested in the animals that we share the earth with. Fucking PETA forgot about that. They totally forgot about that. Steve Irwin was a huge friend for animals and through Irwin there was a lot of potential cause people listened and paid attention and enjoyed watching on TV around the world and learning. Now that he’s dead, not so much, yet here’s PETA actually deciding to make an enemy of Steve Irwin’s Legacy. Get fucked PETA cause PETA’s being a Backstabber.
He died doing what he loved the most...
What a bloke.

Fucking good point 😂
*Checkmate PETA!*
I’d like to drop a story about the geniuses known as PETA. There was a laboratory in Minnesota that use lab raised rabbits testing shampoos. So PETA in all its infinite wisdom broke into this lab. They broke the rabbits out to “set them free.” Here’s a little info about what w was going on in Minnesota at that time. It had snowed nearly 30 inches and the temperature was -30 degrees outside. Keep in mind that the rabbits were born in the lab and had never lived in the wild. So as PETA did this great liberation that its ran about 100 yards and dropped dead. So take what these nimrods say with a grain of salt.
@Joshingya th-cam.com/video/Bmc9NFfhx74/w-d-xo.html
They dont think about consequences at all, They dont actually care about the animals they care about themselves, they want to feel like they're better than everyone
Brilliant comment 😂😂😂😂
Same with the Southern Poverty Law Center, complete extremist Fuckwits.
I have pet rabbits and I thought PETA was good I’m crying
He would probably have stuck his leg in the crocs mouth before it could get to his son.

As a vegan I can say, PETA are what brings non-vegans and vegans together. Gives us a common cause to fight against haha
Alex & Erika I agree with all you said.
Liam Walton Me too and you are right.
Speaking as calmly and as non-hostilely as possible: Even *IF* we accept the idea that having animals as entertainers is wrong, let us also keep in mind what the Irwins were doing. They were showing off these animals to bring attention to the plights of their species. The closest human equivalent would be going off to an endangered part of the rainforest where there's a tribal culture and performing a documentary with them and interacting with them. Yes, it may be wrong to interfere with these people's daily lives, but it's a minor annoyance as compared to the danger bearing down on them. What they did was raise money to ensure that more animals in the wild can stay in the wild. So, their goal and achievements (lest we forget that the Irwins are actually successful) are in parallel with the requests that PETA *claims* to support. The Irwins are financially successful, yes, but they used that wealth to expand their zoo and related conservation efforts, not roll around in a Rolls Royce like a bond villain.
Now, speaking less calmly: Fuck. You. PETA.

This review was more serious than I expected. Ozzy Man analyzed the situation very well.
The chick that stood up for the animals was spot on and no one could of said it better.
Leave the critters alone
Steve Irwin done more for animals than anyone. David Attenborough didn’t agree with his actions but agreed with his conservation. Only time I’ve ever been upset when someone famous died. Still miss u. U crazy Aussie bastard
your voice always puts a smile on my face.
I just discovered this particular video and I have to say I'm genuinely impressed. This IS in fact a carefully considered and well considered response to an emotive and inflammatory tweet. well said, and I totally agree
Agreed. Ozzy'scomments could serve an example for most folks these days on how to politely disagree with someone of a differing opinion.
The thing about Steve with Robert and the Crocodile is very Simple. Steve had Robert away from the Croc for the feeding, putting himself between then. Then, when the Croc was fed and mollified, he walked Robert, making sure to keep looking at the Croc and clearly ready to basically chuck himself between them if the Croc got aggressive. The Man would never have put Robert in danger he wasn't ready to deal with.
