And using the zoos to boost their profits! Love that pic on the bottom of him being chased by a sting ray! Many of these documentary shows do a lot of their filming in zoos saying it's in the wild. How do you think they are able to get camera's in those snake, moles, and other underground shots. In zoos!

You are right. Most people think we humans are supposed to dominate these animals. It makes me think of National Geographic's special "Urban Gorilla". What a crock and it was all to get Ivan out of his home here in Tacoma. Had I not been fired he would still be living a good life, well cared for, and not picked on by the gorillas he's living with in Atlanta. These so called experts are nothing more than expert liars. It was a political kill when it came to Ivan and i'm sure Ford Motor company never would have donated the money for his move had Dr. Terry Maple former director of Zoo Atlanta told them the truth and that he was a damaged gorilla. Ivan is a perfect example of power gone wrong.

So was Steve Irwin bad ? Did he mistreat the animals, besides the fun he had jumping on crocs ?

Just curious, because he did give animals exposure, from your experiences you would know more about his antics than I...
