We the undersigned are appalled that Animal Planet has removed The Crocodile Hunter and all Steve Irwin shows from the channel - shows that were enormously popular all over the world. Fans of Steve Irwin (and children who don\'t know or understand that he has passed on) all love his show. There are still so many people out there, including children that need to hear Steve\'s message about wildlife. considering Steve\'s show was one of the first on Animal planet and as they said in a press release on Tuesday, September 6th 2006 and i quote Discovery Communications (owner of Discovery Channel and Animal Planet ) Discovery Communications is deeply saddened by the tragic and sudden loss of Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. Steve was beloved by millions of fans and animal lovers around the world and was one of our planet\'s most passionate conservationists. He has graced Animal Planet\'s air since October 1996 and was essential in building Animal Planet into a global brand. and Discovery Networks International President Dawn McCall, said, "Rarely has the world embraced an animal enthusiast and conservationist as they did Steve Irwin. Steve\'s passion for animals and leadership in conservation awareness leaves a powerful and lasting legacy across the globe." Outside the United States, Animal Planet is available in 160 countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East with programming customized in 24 languages. i have put in here what i think in in context if you want to read the whole press release http://www.movieweb.com/tv/news/33/14433.php So please put it back on the air all over the world again, think what Steve would say if he knew his wildlife message wasn\'t getting across you need to use a real email address or the petition is invalid.
