I heart Bindi Sue Irwin!



I really love the Irwin family's positive attitudes and devotion to their causes. They're the kind of environmentalists that I don't want to run over with my car. The product of their genuine longing to help the wildlife is Bindi Sue Irwin. She is more motivated than most college kids and her ability to overcome such a tragedy as what happened to her father is amazing. Here is her speech given at her dad's memorial service:

In front of a crowd of 5000 and a worldwide television audience of more than 300 million viewers,[13] Bindi read the following statement at her father's public memorial service on September 20, 2006:

" My Daddy was my hero – he was always there for me when I needed him. He listened to me and taught me so many things, but most of all he was fun.
I know that Daddy had an important job. He was working to change the world so everyone would love wildlife like he did. He built a hospital to help animals and he bought lots of land to give animals a safe place to live.

He took me and my brother and my Mum with him all the time. We filmed together, caught crocodiles together and loved being in the bush together.

I don’t want Daddy’s passion to ever end. I want to help endangered wildlife just like he did.

I have the best Daddy in the whole world and I will miss him every day. When I see a crocodile I will always think of him and I know that Daddy made this zoo so everyone could come and learn to love all the animals. Daddy made this place his whole life and now it’s our turn to help Daddy."



Sniff, sniff. Now, please, let's all watch her 26-part wildlife documentary. It's called Bindi the Jungle Girl airing on the Discovery Kids television network and is scheduled to premiere January 2007. (Who's got the agenda now?)
