9. I wouldn't say we feel more for them, but
that we DO feel for them at all. They are people too and we are sometimes affected by their deaths. Do you think that those who mourned JFK or RFK or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. cared more about them than they did their own families? I would say not, but those were people who fought for things they believed in and their deaths did affect many people. Granted Steve Irwin was a conservationist and that was his main issue. He was still an advocate for the environment against habitat destruction and poaching, which was a strong progressive issue last time I checked.
