Re: What the heck is going on with stingrays?
Again, as I said in post #8, it was a major thing because of Steve Irwin. Then one happened off the coast of Fla. and the major news networks made a huge fuss out of it. Every once in a while this stuff happens, it just doesnt make big news because it didnt follow some celebrities demise by the same quirk of fate. I have lived on the ocean in past years and shit flies onboard boats all the time, and thats what happened to the old guy in Florida . Irwin was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He even told his friend if he goes, it will probably be "in the water" because it is so unknown to him, his wealth of knowledge was of the land animals . You will find dozens of stories of people being killed or hurt badly by sea creatures jumping on board their boats. It wouldnt have made the news if it had been a shark or barracuda or something else with sharp teeth or barbs! The old guy would have only made the local papers. The problem is, now you are going to have all the a**holes coming out of the woodwork out there killing all the rays they come across.
