Crocodile hunter Steve Irwin has defended feeding a crocodile while holding his baby son, claiming it's good parenting to teach children about crocodile danger.

The article goes on to compare it to the Michael Jackson baby dangling incident and a ramble from Irwin about how the only way he could have tripped and fallen is if Australia had an earthquake like Iran's.

I'e got to admit, he's got a real point about the dangers of cars vs. the dangers of crocodile feeding. It is amusing to think how much most people take the danger of automobile usage for granted and yet freak about other lesser dangers.

I think we should pit the people who are on his case about this against the PETA possum people.
