The Ethics of Wildlife Shooting

Just wanted to add my 2 cents on Steve Irwin. I loved all that he did. He did a lot for wildlife. Made watching and learning exciting which probably helped to make people more generous with wildlife conservation funds. Probably helped to generate more $$ for wildlife than anyone will ever know with his showmanship. Was very very sad to hear about it.

Yes, or at least tone down the subjective commentary to slightly less blatant levels. As Mark says the current version does get your attention, but does it leave people thinking of Meerkats as Meerkats or as little furry people? I'd like to have a little left to the imagination here, with more emphasis on the fact that these are animals and not people.
