to 440 lb crocodile....
SYDNEY, Australia — A blank-faced 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 boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center in central Australia early Wednesday, then went on a 30-minute killing spree, using a rock to slay three lizards, including the zoo's beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-foot, 440-pound vsaltwater crocodile, said zoo director Rex Neindorf.

LOL I guess so. Expensive dinner for the crocodile. Animals were valued at $5500. I thought it was an interesting article. How many 7 year olds do you know that would do something like that?

They make it sound like the child is a murder. He just wants to feed a crocodile. Lizard = food. Food = Crocodile.
If he kills the Lizard, he won't have to worry about it slipping out of his hand. Simple little boy logic. I wonder if he will do time? lol

BTW, when my brother was 7 years old, he was tired of taking care of his hampster so he fed it laundry detergent. Took care of that problem.

Maybe he just wanted to feed the croc. :D
The article said it seemed like he was playing a game. That's why I said I'd like to see the video games he plays.
Some kids try to copy things they see in movies, on games, etc... which is what I think that comment was leading up to.
I found the article posted on another forum, and they had him branded as a future serial killer.
He won't do time. In the area he lives in, he can't be charged because he is too young. They are suing his parents because they say someone has to accept responsibility for his actions.

I guess I'd want to know what he meant by - it was like playing a game.

My husband recently went into shock when a little boy in our church stomped on a frog, splattering it all over the church steps. He made a point of saying how mean it was, and talked about it at dinner. (Great topic! :rolleyes2)
A month later...Sarah had a birthday party with several friends over, and Jeffrey (age 6) was trying to get their attention, so he threw a frog down on the back patio, said, "Look guys!" and bludgeoned it to death with his boot. The girls screamed, and ran in to tell Jeff who was horrified. I was trying not to laugh. (Okay, I felt sorry for the frog, but I was thinking about *full circle* LOL!!!) Anyway, Jeff made him scrape up all the frog remains, they put it in a box, buried it, and talked about how we do not kill animals unnecessarily. (Except for food or necessity--never for pleasure or recreation. My father was an avid hunter, but he taught us that you don't kill anything you're not planning to eat.)
I believe he also told him some terribly scary story about the Mommy and Daddy frog looking for their poor little boy frog and not being able to find him. ROFL!!!!! My husband...:D He and his brother used to go hunting, er...that is, SAM would hunt, and Jeff would scare away the prey at the last minute, and then his brother would get mad and chase him home.
