7 year old Kid has teh guts to kill all of these?? o_O

SYDNEY, Australia (Oct. 3) - A 7-year-old boy broke into a popular Outback zoo, fed a string of animals to the resident crocodile and bashed several lizards to death with a rock, the zoo's director said Friday.
The 30-minute rampage, caught on the zoo's security camera, happened early Wednesday after the boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center in central Australia, said zoo director Rex Neindorf

The child then went on a killing spree, bashing three lizards to death with a rock, including the zoo's beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-foot, 440-pound saltwater crocodile, said Neindorf.
The boy also fed several live animals to Terry by throwing them over the two fences surrounding the crocodile's enclosure, at one point climbing over the outer fence to get closer to the giant reptile.
In the footage, the boy's face remains largely blank, Neindorf said, adding: "It was like he was playing a game."
By the time he was done, 13 animals worth around $5,500 had been killed, including a turtle, bearded dragons and thorny devil lizards, Neindorf said. Although none were considered rare, some are difficult to replace, he said.
"We're horrified that anyone can do this and saddened by the age of the child," Neindorf said.
Alice Springs police said they are unable to press charges against the boy because of his age. Children under age 10 can't be charged with criminal offenses in the Northern Territory. His name was not released because of his age.
Neindorf said he plans to sue the boy's parents.
The boy's small size is probably the reason he didn't trip the zoo's security system, which relies on sensors to detect intruders, Neindorf said.
"I just want people to learn that they can't let their children go and run amok," Neindorf said. "If we can't put the blame onto the child, then someone has to accept the responsibility."

I remember when our cat had babies years back my little brother loved the babies but played with them like they where toys until one kitty got a nosebleed and we had to explain to him that he needed to be gentile... but he was four or five at the time so this kid has some catching up to do...

Also watching animals kill each other is quite fascinating... if you watch the animal channel you ether see animals humping or killing each other... I would regularly watch my brothers snake eat mice because it was quite the even to see one of natures oldest predators at work...

But I think you need to step it up a notch. This new forum has an embed feature for video....and it's very easy to use. Also....provide a little commentary or response when you post news....that way it gives a place for the thread to go and gives us some insight into why you posted this item. You've got the title down....now let's give it some depth.

And I'm not being negative...just trying to help fill things out a bit more.

On topic....I hate kids.

However children who enjoy torturing animal, not hugging it to hard, but rather breaking their legs and watching it scream and holler because somehow they think its fun and love doing it have a big f***ing problem. Its as close to physcological fact as you can get, if the behavior is not corrected and continues it will only be a matter of time before the childs sick obsession with inflicting pain on things will spill over to humans."

So the kid is fascinated by violence ??? Is that so crazy ??? Just because he can´t yet foresee the consequences of his actions doesn´t make him a freak... killing animals is a primal part of human existence, saying that killing animals is evil and marks you as a psychopath is a little narrow minded... but who knows maybe that kid really is the next Adolf Manson... but people like to jump to conclusions fast without knowing half of the facts... I´m just saying give the kid a break before blindly demonizing him...
