    Thats a video that should never see the light of day. For Terri and the kids sake I’m glad its been destroyed. The world just isn’t the same with Steve and his “Crikey Mate!!” Even us Kiwis miss you Steve.

    Terri,
    Steve touched my heart in so many ways. He loved you and the children so much, he had more passion and caring than any man I have ever met in my life. You could see his love for his family in his eyes everytime he would talk about you!

    I\’m torn over the tape issue. I tend to agree with the tapes destruction. In this age where privacy is almost impossible. Where predatory voyeaurs want to watch all manner of death and dismemberment for their sick entertainment, the decision to destroy this tape is indeed refreshing. I\’m a little surprised that a copy wasn\’t made surreptitously.
    On the other hand, it\’s very rare that events that cause injury or death are caught on tape, and I think the event should be carefully viewed with an eye for preventing future accidents such as this to occur. My guess is this was done before the tapes destruction. Thank you. Jay.

    Steve is the best, I’ve never seen animal shows as much as I’ve seen his show, it’s very interesting & very nicely made. It was very unfortunate what happened to him & we all feel deeply saddened for that, I still do even it was almost two years ago.

    I’ve not seen Animal Planet or any TV channel about animals after him. R.I.P. Steve, you are really missed.
