I'm not sure why everyone is saying "This is so sad, but..." because firemen, policemen, crab fishermen, etc. have very dangerous jobs as well. Do we say things like "I'm sorry he died, but he WAS a fireman, policeman, insert dangerous job here."? Nope.

Yes, he chose to get close to dangerous animals because like firemen, policemen, etc...he LOVED his job.

He was so full of joy and life when you'd see him on TV. They just played his interview from a couple of years ago on my local morning radio show and the last thing they played him saying was that he was meant to preserve these animals...that's why he was put here.

My heart goes out to Terri, Bindi and lil' Bob.
