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.

16. Terri has always seeemed like an "opportunist type" to me. I feel very badly for Steve's Dad who lost his wife; then his son...now the zoo that he built. I am not surprised that he quit. I hope he enjoys a retiement. Terri seemed always like a bitch to me and her daughter is TOO MUCH too. May the Wildlife Warrior Steve rest in peace. He was cool.

17. Sounds just like what Teresa did to JR when Dale was killed...she ruined the family company and a family member left....

18. Heat up the barbie.
What a bitch.
I hope he can recover some dignity to his son's reputation.
Even if Steve did not respect the dignity of animals.

20. Blood will be on Terri's hands someday soon when an animal kills or maims Bindi or Bob. How come the po po are all over Britney for negligent parenting when Terri feeds her son to the snakes and gives her daughter an 80 hour work week? And the DOLLS she just made of them both are horrifying. Terri Erwin is Dana Lohan on crack.

23. Terri needs to pack up her kids and head back to the trailer park in Oregon that she came from. Stop pimping out your kids and let Steve's dad continue what he started. I couldn't stand this woman from the first moment I saw her on tv years ago. She always looked like she was about twenty years older than Steve, especially with her white trash hairdo.

25. Somehow this doesn't surprise me. For some reason this woman presented a "brave face" (for lack of a better description) after the untimely, but not quite so surprising, death of Steve. She immediately pimped out that poor child to do the same... Screw greiving. Steve was annoying enough, but Bindi with that totally phony smile and "thumbs up" trademark gesture is sooooo annoying, and pimping her out so soon after her father's death, or just plain pimping her is so wrong on so many levels. Watching what this woman is doing to the remains of her family makes me think the barb may have hit the wrong heart.


I'm with team Dad on this one.

26. Terri sure has been pimping out her kids. Money does change everything. I'm very disappointed in her and the way she's raising her family. Typical stage mother, but just wait until Bindi grows up and rebels.

She was just Steve's wife. Nothing more. Steve's dad should have control, not her. Stop riding his coattails and cut out her own path in life.

Disgusting shame. She'll be sorry one day, just watch.

28. Britney = Bindi
Wait and see. Looks like another lynn spears, putting her kids out there, no matter what. Over exposed kids. Accomplish all you ever will in life before you turn adult. How sad.

29. I find it sad that there appears to be a riff in the Irwin family but not surprised. Once again it must be the almighty dollar that is so important. But what is worst to me are the kids...Bindi is just a kid and needs to be a kid. Putting her out there like her dad is a huge mistake. Let her be a kid. And the boy, his dad dangles him infront of a crocodile when he is weeks old..I will never get over that act of ignorance and stupidity. Now he has been bitten by a snake, not poisonous mind you but what is next? I think it is a shame to put those kids out there as kids who are supposed to carry on their father's legacy. Frankly I did not like Steve Irwin at all. He was an idiot who hastened a premature death by his wreckless show boating with animals. He deprived 2 kids of a father...now their mother is placing them right up there with a lack of childhood and a career when they need to be just kids. I don't know what Steve's father is pissed about but he needs to get over whatever is eating him for Bindi and Bob's sake. The kids will end up disasters no doubt if their family doesn't grow up and just let them be kids...not like their egomaniac father.
