Steve Irwin "The crocodile hunter" Does anyone agree2007-11-24 2:03:06

Does anyone agree that it is immoral to make money & sell Steve Irwin merchandise on the day of his death?

Just after the news of his death this morning i noticed over 100 new auctions popping up on eBay.

This is immoral & should not be allowed!

Answers:

Your thoughtfulness is commendable, but it's a buyers market and sadly his memorabilia will now be more valuable. Bear in mind that not everyone is doing this out of greed - some people may really need the money and they know now this item will help.

We'll miss the chap.. but he died doing what he loved. Not such a bad way to go.

True it is very sad and immoral! Then again i blame ebay for letting it happen!

Only if proceeds went to animal conservation as he worked his whole life trying to protect animals. I t is sick for profit making.

---

it is rather unfeeling, but then people have always made money out of tragedy and that will never change

---

yes i totally agree of course its immoral these ppl must have no shame and no feelings 4 his family

It's free commerce- a little sick, a little opportunistic sure.

Morals have little or no place in commerce save your morals for church, business is simply amoral and I'm suprised you even bothered to ask.

eBay is an American company. People try to make a little money off of his stuff because now it's expensive, but what could be more American than that? THAT is why I love America. You can be as immoral and as vile as you want, and no one can stop you.

I know, it shows a lack of respect. But hey, what can we do, I guess people need the money. RIP Steve.

I agree. I mean come on it just happend and all.

its true a bank statement has no conscience

I think it's sad that people will benefit off his death, but when people do die, their name and likings always become more popular, it's a fact of life.

I see where you are coming from.
