xD I.. always kind of hated him (I swear to god, I'm not trying to troll. I'm not looking to start a fight or anything, just sharing an opinion).

I'm not entierly sure why. And actually, it wasn't even hate, really. He seemed like a pretty cool guy, and I felt bad for his family when he died, but... I always kinda thought he was asking for it. xD There's a fine line between being p*censored*ionate about animals, and being stupid with how you deal with them.
Like, I adore animals, so I appreciated all the things he did for them, but he was always very.. reckless, with how he handled them and stuff, so I new he was going to die young.

Out of curiosity, what made you bring up the topic? xD He's been gone for quite a while now, hasn't he?
