Bob Irwin Demands ‘D–khead Legislation’ After Influencer’s Reckless Crocodile Stunt Sparks Investigation
Bob Irwin, the revered father of the late ‘Crocodile Hunter’ Steve Irwin and a lifelong advocate for wildlife, has issued a rare and scathing rebuke against an American influencer for filming himself wrestling crocodiles in Australia. His powerful statement comes as Queensland authorities actively investigate Mike Holston, known online as ‘The Real Tarzann,’ for his dangerous and illegal interaction with protected fauna, an investigation announced just this Tuesday.
Irwin, visibly concerned by a ‘runaway train’ of content creators ‘encouraging and glorifying harmful wildlife interactions,’ called for immediate and stringent action. He suggested that influencers engaging in such reckless stunts should face ‘d–khead legislation’ and be ‘booted out the door’ of the country. He minced no words, stating, ‘That’s exactly what content creators like the Real Tarzann are in my books: d–kheads. Because anyone who harms wildlife for fun, is.’
Emphasizing that ‘This isn’t a Steve Irwin issue,’ but rather a matter of illegal interference with protected species, Irwin highlighted the specialized skill required to handle crocodiles without causing them dangerous stress or lactic acid build-up. He firmly asserted that Holston ‘clearly had no clue’ about such critical handling. Interfering with a saltwater crocodile carries a substantial on-the-spot fine of $8,345, potentially escalating to a maximum of $37,000. However, Irwin argues these penalties pale in comparison to the significant earnings influencers can generate from such viral content, underscoring the urgent need for more effective deterrents.
