Subject: News poll on Steve Irwin and the Crocodile Hunters

A news poll has just been set up in the media at www.petitiononline.com.

We are looking for your support to ask your viewers and listeners all the Australia public to vote on Should Steve Irwin "only" keep the name Crocodile Hunter.

He does not have the name "The Crocodile Hunter" even registered, As Australian Securities Commission quoted No-one can own "THE" so at the end of the day Steve Irwin's mob asked Mick Pitman to stop using the name "Crocodile Hunter."

There are 134,000 sites that reference Crocodile Hunter.

On Thursday night after the bombing of the Australian Embassy which we had just finished watching, the Police paid Mick a visit. They had a complaint from Australian Zoo that Mick said he was going to blow up Australia Zoo.

Bad Taste or what.

A 'Real' Crocodile Hunter denies zoo plot to Blow up Australia Zoo!

Now this is the real story:
A war of words has erupted between two of Queensland's crocodile hunters yet again.

One of Australia's real crocodile hunters is Mick Pitman. There are other ones...and Mick has been targeted by Australia Zoo again.

Mick finds it very bad taste on Australia's Zoo's part.

But Mick says all he wants is for Steve Irwin to apologize for the name row last year between Steve and Mick over the name "CROCODILE HUNTER"

"I phone up to talk to Steve, but was told no-one can talk to him, Looks like it is easier to talk to Sir Richard Branson.

I talked to them and asked them for an apology because of the trademark name row. We had a blow up last year and guess what ...it isn't even owned by Steve," he said.The Australian Securities Commission said no one can own "THE" naming "THE CROCODILE HUNTER" and THE can not be registered . So what was it all about then...?

"I was threatened with litigation from the company if I used the name 'CROCODILE HUNTER'," he said last year. which is what I do.

I told Australia Zoo that if Steve didn't give me an apology the story would blow them out of the water in the media. Not Blow up Australian Zoo. What has the Australia come to when Australia Zoo doesn't even understand the Aussie lingo, and it gets taken out of context like that?

THERE ARE about 134,000 WEBSITES that refer to "CROCODILE HUNTER."

And after that episode, I want an apology. This is a normal reaction from anyone, and is common respect, to be courteous. It is the norm in any industry, don't you think!? That's why I called Steve!

We ask your listeners and viewers to take part in this poll

Have your say in the poll!!
