Steve Irwin's Dad: Croc You, Terri

31. Terri is nothing but a phony & now Bendi acts the same way.....they are sickening to watch. I can't believe she would let her children handle snakes & now one has bit the little boy & she thinks it's cool.

Too bad her dad has to leave something he built. I hope everybody stops going to the zoo & nobody buys that ugly doll.

32. I find it funny that anyone can comment on this The article provides no information as to the rift, just that there is one. Too quick to blame, people, to quick to blame.

37. Hate to hear about the departure of the Dad. But maybe he is as scared of Bindy, as I am. Terri, really needs to let Bindy be a kid. It's all about MONEY, it's always about MONEY.

38. I'm not going to believe this.

He's probably just ready to retire.

39. What a shame! You would think that Steve's dad and widow would have something worked out to continue professional harmony of their wild-life empire. If Grampa Bob completely walks out of this venture he'll only screw himself out of business and family.

And no #4, #9, and #15, Terri is NOTa bitch, NOR is her daughter Bindi. When it come to running a family owned business there's going to always be some disagreements, but they need to work it all out. God Bless all of them. I hope they can.

40. This is sad, but it does seem to me like Terri has been irresponsibly exploiting those children. I don't care what she says, an 8 year old is simply not capable of making life decisions, and little Bindi seems to always be "on". Of course, any child would want to live in a zoo, but I have to wonder if either of the children have actually had a chance to grieve the loss of their father. I hope Mr. Irwin doesn't distance himself too far from his grandchildren; I suspect they will really need him in the future.

41. Steve seemed to love and respect his dad so much. It is sad that Terri couldn't just hang on a while longer and let the old man live out his life where he loved it. There must be tears in heaven.

42. All I can say is this, The Australia Zoo has been a commercialism enterprise long before Terri Irwin took the reins and it still promoted Conservationism and Wildlife Preservation back then and now. Steve Irwin himself took over the little reptile park, expanded it and had plans for future expansions. In his own words, "to make it Australia's Disney Park of tourism"

This supposed rift between Bob Irwin and the Management of the Australia Zoo, yes I said Management, because I personally feel there is more to this than just Terri and her father-in-law having words, needs to come to a compromise on both sides for Bindi and Robert's sake. Bob Irwin is their grandfather and he needs to be an active part of their lives.

This is no longer a small reptile park, but a large vast business and has been so for many, many years and as such you are always going to have some disgruntled staff, rifts between members of management and members of staff, the place will be constantly riddled with rumours, the is normal of any business as this magnitude.

I challenge the Sunshine Coast Daily, the Courier Mail or any of the leading Media to say there isn't romours constantly running a muck within their own walls. For if there isn't, lordy give me a job there, as it would be the ultimate ideal working environment.

Bottom line here is that everyone involved, sit down talk it out, work it out, not just for the sake of the wildlife, the staff or even conservation itself, but for the sake of Bindi and Robert who needs everyone to just get past this and become a whole family once again.

For as we already know, life is short, so no one should spend what time they have here on this earth obsessing over bitter words said amongst each other, but strive to work it out and get past it. Not only the Irwin family, the Australian Zoo and its staff, each and every one of us as well.

43. I am so sick of people like a few of you on here turning bad thing like this into a reason to bad mouth people. A few of you commented on Bindi if you don't like her show don't watch it. Is is a great role model for little girls. My daughter wants to be a vet because of her and she is only 5. she even dressed up as her for Halloween. Don't you think she has been through enough without stupid people like you bad mouthing her. As for this story it is really to bad. I just hope it doesn't effect the kids.

44. I am so tired of seeing Terri in that same ugly brown outfit, my god she really needs to put on a different outfit every once in a while. And I always see bindi with her all the time everywhere they go but i hardly ever see her little boy with her. I always loved steve irwin, and am sad that his life was so short.
