That's good because it will end the stringrays' nefarious plotting.

Wasn't this the plot to 'The Life Aquatic'?

Stop the stingrayophobia!

Where are my placards and demonstrating shoes? This calls for a protest!

(It also calls for morons to quit killing stingrays. We all know that it's the jellyfish that are really plotting against us.)

I read somewhere that briefly after Irwin's death, someone vandalized Wikipedia's page on stingrays to read simply "Bastards Killed Steve Irwin!"

How sad, and a little ironic, if these attacks on the stingrays really are being done to avenge Irwin's death.

Steve would be among the most outraged and upset by these attacks on a usually harmless animal.

I love how wikipedia can generate it's own urban mythology!

Gahrie has it right.

Obviously, someone who apparently considers themselves a 'Steve Irwin fan' did not pay any attention at all to what Steve Irwin was all about.

Saltwater crocs did the deed(s) in a fit of misguided jealousy over not being able to kill the dummy who antagonized and pestered their kind with a lawnmower and food and who would not hand over that plump infant for a snack. Typical behavior of those who resent the success of others.

If the stringrays were found with their tails in their mouths, I'd suspect the mafia.
