Sabotage has not been ruled out in Calgary. Laidlaw wonders about that, too. There was a public backlash against stingrays in the months after the death of television host and wildlife expert Steve Irwin of The Crocodile Hunter.
Seriously? A backlash against stingrays?

In the hobby since 2001, and has seen all kinds of fads come and go. As he gets older, Jeff is developing more and more of a conscience towards environmental concerns, especially towards reefs. Currently, he writes from Ontario, Canada, but would rather be snorkeling on a reef.
The things they do to get spice in a story. Yeah they were poisoned, but not intentionally.
