Steve Irwin's Dad: Croc You, Terri

Posted Mar 1st 2008 12:30PM by TMZ Staff

Bob Irwin, father of Crocodile Hunter Steve, has quit working at the Australian Zoo after dedicating 36 years of his life to its cause -- and it looks like Steve's widow, Terri, is to blame! Crikey!
Bob Irwin
In a letter sent to the Sunday Herald Sun yesterday regarding his abrupt departure, Bob thanks zoo staff, Animal Hospital workers, Wildlife Warriors and "all of Steve's friends out there" -- but no mention of Terri, who has growing control of Steve's empire, and is the mother of his grandchildren Bindi and Bob.

Previous to Bob's departure, there have been rumors circulating of a rift in the Irwin family -- including disagreements on treatment of staff and the commercial direction of the Australian Zoo.

4. Steve Irwin wasn't half as annoying as his wife and Bindi.

8. I have to agree with #4--I think Terri and Bindi are completely annoying.

10. One has to questions Terri's mentality right now. Didn't she just allow her son to handle a snake and then get bitten and all she had to say was, even the non poisonous one's bite? Gee, what great parenting!

11. What a BITCH!!! you're an american, NOT Australian and now you're being an ass to Steve's father. Australian's will hate you and the zoo, all of Steve's work would be LOST.

Teri you're WRONG, correct this ASAP.

12. That is sad and a shame especially at his age. What is he going to do? To many cooks in the kitchen perhaps who knows. WE cannot cast judgement for we don't know any facts. Apparantly she isn't doing things the way he thinks they should get done. May have nothing to do with the little girl. Nothing at all.

13. Money and greed is a great divider of families when someone dies. He is Steve's dad, they obviously never had a problem in all those years they worked together. Terri needs to not be blinded by the dollar sign, in the end it is family that matters.

14. She is no better than most other show biz moms pimping her kid out. I bet it won't be long until lil bindi is broke. GWAD that kid is uggo. Hopefully she will grow out of it?

15. Isn't it Bob that opened that Zoo? Terri needs to show some respect.
