Boy feeds Aussie zoo's animals to croc - CNN.com
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- 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. ![]() In this CCTV image, the boy throws a turtle over a wall at the Alice Springs Reptile Center. 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." |

If that was my son who did that, I'd be getting charged. I'd beat him so bad it wouldn't be funny. But the parents have got a ticking time bomb on their hands with this little boy. They better do something quickly!

Hate to say it but in all honesty the world would be a better place if he had. This kids life will not be a good story. I know we joke and partly mean it when we say things like "future killer" but does anyone believe this kid can have a normal life? His future will not be good for himself or for others.

You guys are too harsh. I think it is one of those glass half full/empty situations, you could look at it as the act of a monster....or you could look upon it a the kind and caring efforts of a young boy to befriend a sad and lonely croc. I bet none of you felt sorry for all those fish that gave their lives for that floppy finned fucker Willy! If I worked at Disney I'd be making this into a movie.

kids that torture animals (and what he did was pretty much torture them for no reason) have got serious issues mentally and usually end up being really troubled teens and adults who do crazy things like rape, murder etc....
feel bad for his parents... man thats crazy.... |

Well like I commented on the newspaper articles, here in Australia these kinds of children are considered to being just children and expressing themselves in increasingly creative ways.
Recently there was a teenager expressing himself utilising a different type of creativity called stabbing another teenager in the head with a knife, lodging it within millimeters of vital parts of the brain. The teenager survived. |

i agree i wish they released his name so i could look for him in the news in a decade or so.. and his parents needs charges pressed.. they are doing something wrong if their child thinks its ok to go on a "killing spree" at 7 years old.. i am 30 years old and have never killed a living thing other then a bug in my life... the idea that a 7 year old can bash things to death with a rock is horrifying
