Steve Irwin's Dad: Croc You, Terri

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.

136. Ok seems to me that is has become a personal attack on Terri.we do not know what has happened and it is none of our business. I just want to clear up a few things.
1: Bindi has had her own range of children's clothes since she was tiny.It is Called "Bindi Wear"
2: Bindi Kid Fitness was done with Steve
3: Bindi The Jungle Girl was started with Steve and they continued the series.
in fact Steve was filming to get some parts for Bindi's show when he died. Yes he was also filming the Oceans Deadliest
4: Bindi's new line of clothing carries a huge Wildlife and Conversation message
5: The Red Carpet you are all talking about was at G'Day USA a project all about Australia and the Irwin's have always gone to it. Terri bought an $80.00 dress from an op shop and donated $15,000 to Orang-utans. Most people spent $15,000 on a dress.
6: Bindi's new Talking doll well it joins Steve & Terri's Talking dolls teaching kids all about Wildlife And Conversation.
7. Bindi is homeschooled and does the same schooling hours as other kids.
*: Not once in Bob's letter did he mention the kids or Terri so how do you know he is mad at them.
Butt out and let the Irwin's sort things out
Oh if things are that bad why is Bob staying on until June and why does he thank the zoo for helping him get his new property and helping set it all up.

138. ok the trut is Terri and Bob had a big spat and Bob is still living at Autralia Zoo but Terri wants him out. It is a well known fact that Bob founded the zoo 30 odd years ago and the techniques Steve knew he learned from his dad and it's also a well known fact Steve idolised his dad and valued his imput, they ran the zoo together. Steve even named his son after his dad, Bob is a great bloke and really down to earth Steve was the public face of the zo but it is Bob who was the heart of the place, even Steve said so.Terri has her nose out of jopint over something, it hasn't actualy been revealed what yet but reported tonight in Melbourne was that Bob tried to tell the media what but Terri slapped an injunction on him do he couldn't leak the truth about the situation and now she is trying to have him relocated. I know that if I was Bob I would be pretty pissed off if someone like Terri was trying to oust me from the bussiness that I founded.

141. Post #98.............................He died doing what he believed in......PA LEEEEZZZZ.........Irwin got what the hell he deserved. Screw his beliefs. He "harrassed" animals on a dailey basis. That type of crap isn't needed to SAVE THE SPECIES. So knock it off already.

Families are families. This kinda of crap happens all the time.
TMZ, who the hell cares what kind of problems are going on downunder. Our hearts BLEED for the wealthy. NOT.

142. Steve died. Terri was his wife and next of kin. It is now HER empire. Not the dad's! Maybe he's the one being greedy? It does not appear to me that this family is living high and mighty. I don't see them living in some Sydney high rise . Turn on the television-there are kids everywhere. Get rid of all children's programming because the parents are "pimping out their kids?" Please! At least this family is putting their efforts toward a noble cause. It's a lot more than the Paris's of this world are doing!

143. I am sure he has a good retirement set up. Even if there is problems. He started the zoo and i would think he could retain control if he wanted to. Probably has willed it to his grandchildren. Hope he can enjoy life now, he has had enough grief.

144. Alright i'm sorry but there are a lot of cute kids out there, Bindi isn't one of them

145. Looks like the Dad is right and the widow is a jerk-off because am I the only one who cringes everytime that little pie-face girl is on TV rapping about animals with those homo dancers behind her with their jazz hands?! C'mon, kick the opportuni$tic Mom to the curb and let Gramps continue his son's work!

147. Steves dad started this zoo when steve was a kid...not terri when she was a kid...so steves dad should have some control over this zoo not terri..steves dad should take this to court and get it settled once and for all!

148. Very interesting, thanks

149. Terri is a disapointment to the United States, and to Oregon. She needs to apologize to Bob, step back and invite him back. No more "Disney" Zoo...just leave it the way Steve left it. Your ex friend. Michele.

150. YOU ARE JUST PLAIN MEAN #136. YOU must really hate animals. ANY animal lovers out there that watched STEVE know that he ( and Terri ) were there for the animals. #138 and #139 you rock.
