Steve Irwin’s father condemns ‘reckless’ content creators amid outrage over US man wrestling wild crocodiles
Bob Irwin and animal rights organisations say Mike Holston – AKA ‘The Real Tarzann’ – should be deported from Australia
Online content creators who engage in “reckless stunts” with crocodiles should have so-called “dickhead legislation” thrown at them, and international influencers that do so in Australia should be “booted out the door”, Bob Irwin says.
The father of the late “Crocodile Hunter”, Steve Irwin, and lifelong crocodile advocate issued the rare statement after Queensland authorities confirmed they were investigating US influencer Mike Holston – who goes by the online moniker “The Real Tarzann” – for wrestling with wild crocodiles.
Irwin said he and colleagues gave the colourful nickname to the legislation – brought in to Queensland last year in an effort to crack down on dangerous crocodile interactions – after becoming increasingly concerned by “a runaway train” of online content “encouraging and glorifying harmful wildlife interactions”.
