"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. 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.""

Man, fuck that kid.

10/3/2008 9:01:54 AM

If they're not going to charge the kid they should at least charge the parents. Also release the kid's name or better yet feed the kid to the crocs. He's a future serial killer.

10/3/2008 9:03:52 AM

future hannibal

the link has a picture, although poor quality, of this kid throwing a turtle over the fence into the croc cage.

how dense is the population in central australia?

10/3/2008 9:07:01 AM

feed the child to the crocodile then declare a case of "boys will be boys" and share a hearty laugh

steve irwin wouldn't have tolerated this shit

Holy shit. He's 7, it's only going to get worse

Feed that kid to Terry and televise it.


^ Exactly, go ahead and feed him to the croc now before he starts doing more killing. Many killers and abusers start out on animals.

YOU KNOW THAT GAME WHERE YOU BREAK INTO A ZOO AND STEAL THE ANIMALS AND THEN FEED THEM TO THE CROC AND IT GIVES YOU POINTS? HE WAS IMITATING THAT GAME YO.

put the parents and the kid down to "sleep".

(unless the kid has some mental disorder)

10/3/2008 10:21:23 AM

clearly the kid has a mental disorder

but, yeah

feed him to the crocs before it gets worse

they should send the kid and his family to a penal colony.

10/3/2008 10:42:16 AM

You gotta give it to the kid, most 7 year olds would have ended up being eaten by the Croc, not feeding him.

technically if the croc eats the kid, he is being "fed"

That kid needs a good beating.

10/3/2008 10:53:04 AM

I hope that little pyscho gets his ass kicked!!!!! What kind of 7 year old thinks of doing things like that? Future rapist/murderer right there folks.

10/3/2008 10:54:10 AM

I really wish the croc would have ate the kid.

10/3/2008 10:56:56 AM

I am incredibly surprised that the Croc. didn't eat the kid.

10/3/2008 11:32:34 AM

I wish he had fed himself to Terry.

10/3/2008 11:34:03 AM

I think this kid and Latarian Milton should hang out together

Feed the parents to the croc while they're at it. If the kid at age 7 doesn't know the difference between right and wrong on this large of a scope than the parent's fucked up big time and have wasted their time on other things besides instilling good values and watching after their damn offspring.

KILL IT WITH FIRE

Enjoy the zoo
And walk down 42nd street
You wanna be excited too
And you will feel the heat

We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo

10/3/2008 12:35:54 PM

10/3/2008 12:43:18 PM

Someone told me
Its all happening at the zoo.

I do believe it,
I do believe its true.

Its a light and tumble journey
From the east side to the park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo.

10/3/2008 12:54:31 PM

Try that shit at the San Francisco Zoo. I dare you.

I'm not gonna lie, putting animals in a croc pen to see him go after them seems like it would be cool

But fuck that kid for killing the animals by beating them with rocks. Feed the kid and his parents to the croc.

10/3/2008 2:23:00 PM

I bet this kids parents or family molests him.
