Steve Irwin, the Australian conservationist known as “The Crocodile Hunter,” was the Dr. Dolittle of the millennial generation. We grew up watching his show, we were deeply influenced by his passion for wildlife, and we all wept when he died tragically in 2006.

On what would have been Irwin’s 57th birthday on February 22, Google honored him with a Google doodle on its homepage.

Most people on Twitter were moved by the tribute.

And then PETA decided to get in on the action…bad move.

People, predictably, got pretty fired up and decided to try to put PETA in its place.

As you can see, people feel pretty strongly about Mr. Irwin and work he did while he was alive.

And finally, we have this…

Crikey!
